1466 starting problems

Larry B 1486 · Oct 1, 2010

My 1466 is getting hard to start after it set's for a couple of days. It has always started easy even sittin for three months. It will start the first spin if you start it the next morning but let it set two days and you have to crank on it and will start after 5 or 6 spins. Let set a week and you have to use eather on it and with eather it starts right up. The filters are new and no leaks in the system. Batteries are new and it spins fast. Anyone have any ideas??

Try pumping up the primer pump before starting to see if it makes a difference. Don't open any bleeder , just pump to pressurize the head in pump until you feel definete resistance. Could be as simple as leaky o-ring on the primer pump. If that doesn't help, it might be a sticky increased fueling piston in pump.
