Seems every engine has it's own proceedure. When I'm unfamiliear with an engine, I'll usually geive her a small bit of throttle, and no choke. My logic is that that way, you won't flood her immediately. If she fires, ease into the choke a little. If nothing happens at all (no firing), lean on the choke good. I think your 860 has an updraft carb. One thing I've found helpful is to take the air cleaner hose off temporarily, so you can monitor how much gas she gets. I also think that if she doesn't fire after ten revolutions or so, hit her with a small shot of ether (starting fluid). This usually will do the trick. Of course, you don't want that to become a routine. Poor starting can be tied to so many things. Poor compression (expensive), bad spark (fairly easy to fix), bad carburation (often blamed, seldom the real cause). Good luck and keep us posted. Take Care Steve
