Hard start runs fine after started - Yard Man Garden

Have a test done on the glo-plug system as it appears that they have burnt out and are not pre-heating the cylinders or providing a source of ignition for the atomised fuel from the injectors

Don't need to be here

Explain all that at a repair shop

Check crank position sensor fuel relay and egr

Do you own a scan tool ? One that shows engine sensor data parameters ? Checking sensor data would be the thing to do .
047 Engine Hard to Start or No Start Scan Data for Ignition
Check spec. to factory spec.
048 Engine Hard to Start or No Start Scan Data for Starting Problems .

i had a similar problem with mine starting and re starting hard. my problem was the vavle clerance on the exhaust side. the vavle was so tight it took me 20 minutes or more to start it. once it fires ran fine, a littel hotter than usal. i check the vavles for the proper clearance i adjusted them to manufacture settings put a new plug in and vroom started in less than 5 kicks. also check the acc pump diphram they tend to dissolve with age and use one they got bad or get thin the bike will not run right. once you have checked all of this also change the pluge, always helps to have a fresh plug.

hope that gets you started any more qustions let me know

mr. green

sounds like the fuel pressure regulator,also make sure the fuel pump and sending unit are working properly. happened to 99 olds of mine! good luck

Could be Fuel pressure regulator.

CHECK VALVE CLEARANCES(INTAKES MOSTY) IS IT ONLY HARD TO START AFTER IT HAS BEEN RUNNING(HOT) OR IS IT HARD TO START COLD TOO?

check the fuel pressure when it is hard to start, bet it is low.

check the air filter and spark plugs and wires
