    Hello! My oldest 346xp (a 2010 - I have two 2011 as well) has a problem - it seems clear it gets too much air - which makes it necessary to choke it excessively in order to make it start - after that one must more or less have it throttled all the time to make it "stay alive" - and in doing so...
