124T02-0001-140430. Owner complaining of difficult hot start and smell of fuel (gas!) . Its the first Ready Start that I've had to work on . Playing the hot air gun on the thermostat/muffler opens the choke fully and cooling it with the air line closes it. The action is a bit jerky - is this to be expected or a sign of a thermostat that is past its best?
While I'm here, what is the part number and date of the latest L head Repair Manual ? I guess that there is something newer than 270962-12/03!
As usual, all help will be gratefully received.
