Hard starting cub

Posted by scott#2 on September 04, 2006 at 04:32:25 from (141.156.91.115):

A old friend of mine has a cub that I was trying to get started for him yesterday. The thing will pop and sputter and maybe run for 5 or 10 seconds. He says its always been a hard starter and you need to choke it a good bit. He's been through the whole thing except the magneto and he swears the problem is in the mag. He has owned the 50s cub since new, actually his father bought it new. He says you can ctank and crank and just get sputters and pops and then come back the next day and she will fire right up and run great. Any ideas what might be going on here? Buck is getting up in age and his health is getting worse, sure would like to see that thing fire up on demand and make his life a little easier. I dont think its a fuel problem, if it is, maybe too much (flooding) The card drips fuel (he said it alwyays did that). I havent tried any ether yet and am hesitant to go into the mag since I know little about them.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

scott#2
