i’M leaning towards a carb issue then. My 550 would do the same. Cleaned the carbs. Would be a hard start or start of starter fluid no problem....
Are you starting with the petcock set to prime, on or res? Assuming you have those settings on yours
Here are a couple pictures from the add.
I agree. I’d rather do it myself than take someone’s word it was done. You need to go through it. I’m just not familiar with the shaft drives.
I’m more concerned about the motor and the drive train.
. Good point. I’d have to take a battery with me for sure see if she will roll over.

Makes since. Keep the same base and add characters for revisions. This would allow them to keep base item intact and revise if need be. I guess...
That is a nice feature. Thank you for the tip. Least now I know what to target in my searches at the local salvage yards. More options the better....
There are pods on it now and from what I have read on here pods take a lot of work and tinkering with. So figured I’d go back to the original air...
