I understand every tractor is unique and may start slightly different than others. That being said, how do you start yours? It seems as if mine is extremely picky. I get hesitant to choke it for too long because it seems to flood fairly easy. Although it does certainly seem to require a good choke to start at all. It is on a 12V system, and the starter only seems to roll the engine 3-4 revs before the overrunning clutch kicks in (likely a bendix problem I have yet to get to). This certainly makes it more challenging as it doesn't continuously run the engine long enough to throw off the choke.
