Was thinking same , may wait for warmer weather so I can do this outside, she's starting to put out a lot of smoke, smells like unburned diesel.Sounds like you h
So, what might be happening is with your starting kicking out, you just aren't getting enough time to get the motor started up for a "first time" start.
Sometimes when these are cold or haven't run in a while the sputter a bit & really need to keep cranking until the combustion really takes over. Colder temperature, crud build up, ect all contributes to this too.
Thanks for the help this morning and I'll post any changes.
Thanks again
