Hi guys. I have an 038 that simply refuses to start when left outside in the cold for a few hours. Bring the thing inside for half an hour, starts great.
It has great compression, strong spark when cold, new gas, new fuel line, new fuel filter, new carb kit, new plug, new air filter.
I recently repaired the impulse hose, as it was split where it connects to the carb. I cut the split portion of the impulse hose and reconnected it to the carb. It had run fine since then, and still does run fine, except that it simply refuses to start when cold. If I dump a small amount of fuel directly in the carb opening, it starts and runs great.
I replaced the air filter assembly as I thought maybe the choke plate wasn't closing all the way and causing the no start problem. That wasn't it.
Any ideas guys? Thanks.
