Rory, Sounds typical, are you using your enrichers or a primer ? When the engine is set up right to run hot, starting when the air temp is cool, will require enrichers or primer and then a little coaching to keep it running until it warms up.

I have to crank on it for several min before it will fire up. also once it starts I cannot use the throttle until it is completely warm or it will die. When I got this engine 3 months ago it cranked right off no problems. once it is warm it pull starts 1 crank. Any one has a suggestion wear to start.
