Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): re :honda gx670, kanga loader, new spark


Question
hi i have a gx670 honda on a kanga loader my problem is that it is hard to start when it has been turned off for more than an hour or 2 or overnight but starts fine when it is in constant use .when it has been running for an 1 hour or more it back fires when i turn it off ,almost every time .It has had new spark plugs all new fiters and a carby clean.  can you suggest anything i can do to fix the problem?


Answer
  Not having this thing to look at, I will throw out a guess.
It sounds like to me that the fuel line is losing it's prime, so to speak, and you have to crank a bit to get the gas back up to the carb,
so I would inspect and look for any cracked lines, and if you recently relaced a fuel line, you might want to go back with one like the original, take a look and let me know what you think.
