Thank you all for your input. I will read through these and will go through the checklist as well to see if any of the symptoms are there. For one, I can tell you right away that I did sync the carbs but not sure if I did a food job with that. And yes, sometimes I hold the start button for little longer then 1-2 seconds. My question remains thought - could an old armature (worn out on the top side) be the culprit? Will give a more detailed response to the checklist later today. J
