I have 3 sx700's, and a SRX700, every year when I attempt to get these things started, it's almost as though the float bowl has emptied, either through evaporation or whatever, it may take as many at 20 pulls to get them to light. So I have resorted to dribbling fuel down through the airbox to "prime" the intake. Generally cuts the number of pulls by at least 2/3ds. However had the SRX backfire one tme and set it on fire. I'm a bit more reluctant to do that these days. Make sure to have the sleds off the trailer and far from the garage. Once started and run a bit, they are all one of two pull starters, let them set a few days and it's pretty much the same. Wondering if any of you have experienced the same thing, and how you have dealt with it other than installing an electric start.
