Returned it to the owner...he used it for about 1 hour and it died on him and is doing the exact thing massination described...starts..sounds great for4 to 6 seconds...then just dies...no sputtering...no trying to stay alive its gone....If you try to restart it immediately ....forget it...crank no start...wait 20 minutes or so...it will start then die.
I quoted Ironman becuase i thought it was the solenoid too...so i snipped it off clean...made no difference at all..Was wondering what his next thing to try would be if its defintely not that solenoid. .Im thinking it has to be either a bad carb or a faulty ignition switch...
Im fixing to go see if it is either of those....any other ideas/suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
