I knew that getting the motor to run the first time after winterizing would be tough, since it was full of fogging oil. Well, after a lot of pulling and pulling, I got it running!
Burning off the fogging oil
Couldn’t keep it running at an idle, though. Turns out there may have been one small problem: one has to open a vent on the fuel tank, which was news to me as I’d never done this before!
Also, I found it kept running better when started in forward rather than neutral. The manual says not to do that, presumably for safety reasons; but an expert site that was recommended to me said it could be done. Forward is higher RPM, which I think helped keep it running.
