is the choke working?


try some ether.

some of the aircraft engines in airboats are cold natured and a lil shot of ether will crank em..

to much can crack a piston or rod though

Might get a mechanic to look at it and make sure everything is working properly before you go turning it into a crackhead.



Carb cleaner is a bit safer than ether too.
