Funny you mention that.. It takes a bit of cranking to start it. I've never got it to start with 100% choke. Or 0% choke... 20%-40% seems to be the sweet spot. WOn't start with throttle up.. seems to like throttle all the way down. So you can crank it at 100% throttle and get nothing... turn throttle all the way down and it starts coming to life.
Kill the choke and engine stalls.
Does sound carb related.

Haven't done a season yet. Just drained the gas tank and put new fuel in from the automotive gas station.
So I've checked the lines, put on a new fuel filter, and the fuel pump seems to be fine.
