Re: hard starting

That sounds like a possible timing issue. I'm still trying to get mine dialed in as well and have similar symptoms. Might wanna check it to be sure.

Re: hard starting

Those don't have a choke.
Get a fuel pressure gauge & test the fuel pressure, should be from 35-45psi. Might be a bad fuel pressure regulator. Test it first before buying anything else.
Is the check eng. light on?
