Hello all. I'm new here. Anyway, I'm at my wit's end with this cold starting this machine. I have this engine on a one year old Ariens 926LE. This thing is and always has been such a challenge to cold start. Basically, prime and pull, prime and pull, and I coax it along getting it to (putt-putt) go, I have to leave it at full choke and at the starting throttle position for 5 to 10 minutes. Then I can gradually sneak away from full choke and feather the throttle (usually with a few kills while I do that) up to full and go. Then, she runs fine until the job's done. Gentlemen, if there's a way out I need it as this is not my favorite way to start particularly, a weekday. Dealer tells me, "Yeah, all that pollution stuff,...they're all hard to start". Is he blowin' smoke...? Thanks
