Had machine in a small engine shop back in Sept and he replaced the starter. He also installed new plugs, though the other were not that old. When the weather was still warm, all was well. So, after several weeks, things were going better.
But I still have an ammeter/lights flickering issue....when idling, the lights flicker, and when running well above idle, they seem to be okay, but I still notice the ammeter bouncing all over the place from literally no charge up to 10A or more. It is almost like a loose connection, but I have not been able to locate it.
And, while running somewhat better, it is still a cold blooded beast, taking 12-25 seconds of cranking before it will start at temps 25-55F. I am afraid to think what it will act like when it really gets cold. As I do not profess to be either an electrician or mechanic, I am at a loss, other than hauling into the guy that I had work on it before, and pay his fees.
Any hints before I load and drag it????
