Honda's are nice but if there is one thing I don't like about them is they are so darn hard to start sometimes. I had one that was a hard starter and I loaned it out to a guy during elk season and he pulled til his arm came out of the socket. he drove to town to a honda dealer and for $20 had it fixed. so far so good. I'm getting older and some of my small engine things are getting hard to start. I can't pull hard enough to get them to fire. I was having a time with my pressure washer ( it's a honda motor)and my son came over to visit and I had him pull on it and he had it running in two pulls. so now I know it's me.
