13yr old gold pro 6.5hp nearly impossible to start if shut off while hot for more than 1 minute. Replaced ignition coil last year, at least now it cold starts well but not when hot. Seems to run extra smoky and throttle control is not precise. Do I need a new carb?
I have a 10 year old Lawn Boy Gold Pro DuraForce 6.5HP 2 stroke walk behind mower. Over the last 2 years it has become increasingly difficult to start when cold. This thing formerly was a one pull start. Now it takes 10-20 minutes. I crank on it a while, then prime, then crank, and repeat...
