fuzzybabybunny Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 On my EOS 100 and old ROS 125 I am never able to cold start the motor by just pull starting. It either never starts at all, or it starts and shuts down immediately, never going into idle. I have to be pull starting and giving it a little bit of throttle at the same time, even if I've primed it correctly. - Is giving a bit of throttle when cold starting necessary and expected to have it start and maintain idle? - If not, what motor do you have? - What should I do to get throttle-less starts and idles?

Chinholdkid Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 No throttle required on Moster, had from new, over 50 hrs, never needed throttle on startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwilmot Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hi Victor I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you don't have to hold some throttle to keep the idle once started. I've gone back to a WG8 carb on mine and it will pop with no throttle and choke engaged but I need a bit of throttle to get it to start when choke opened. Restarts with no throttle when warm. What part of the world are you in these days? David NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
