so it sounds like the primer is working , but they dont push fuel , air only and into the bowl that in turn pushes up the fuel through a hole in jet tube .
so it tries to start but just coughs n wont quite make it ? then starter spray n off she goes huh . and low on comp' you almost think ?
remove the plug lead and be SURE to secure it away from the plug . sit it up so you can get to the blade , turn it until you feel resistance and see how it feels from there . when you feel comp' back a little , see if it sort of bounces back when it gets compression . is it smokey at all ? there is some numbers on coweling that tell its date/age , how much work has it done . might just need valve adjustment too .


oops , just checked , its 99 . so its 16 now sort of , so could be time for some real servicing , did it get worse slowly or just didnt like to play one day .
if it is of any help , most times i just get rid of the bail bar and brake set up , move the kill switch to the throttle plate and fit a cable , its all there and just needs to be fitted and parts moved
