what is the choke setting? also is it a cold start problem? how big a guy are you? i had one, i could bog it down with 250lbs of me specially if the blades are sharp and diggin? i had to set choke partially on, till she warmed up, then i could hog on her.mo jr has it, its 35 yrs old and still runnin just not strong enough to lug it around
GOD BLESS
