Hey guys as you all know I just picked up this tri-z. Well it is biggest p!@ to start cold. No matter how much I choke it or not it just wont start. When I go out to it on the third kick it sputters to life for a few seconds and just dies off. 6th kick it does the same thing and then after that I get nothing. But if I pull the plug dump a little premix in it she fires right up and runs good. I know it is not the correct carb on this machine I have jetted it to the factory 85 settings. Monday when the stores open up I plan on getting new vaccum line going from the cylinder to the fuel pump. Going to put a new plug in it and clean the carb out. Once she is running pulls hard and starts easy. Any ideas is great! This is the carb thats on it.164228
