mark! that's the exact way mine was. it would start sometimes with the throttle way low just above the idle.it would also pop and backfire on fast throttle setting while trying to start eventually i would pull the plug dry it out, and if you got lucky it would then fire. hope you find out what it is!! if so let me know. mkdahl@charter.net

Thks for your help guys.  I change the coil on it and the machine runs like a new one...Mark
