little hard to start if it’s sat for a few days but man do I love it

 

Get an inline 1/4 marine primer bulb. This is a common issue with any of these tractors with the fuel tank under the seat. 2-3 squishes before before starting and it'll likely start on the first couple rotations. 

 

Saves your starter, saves your battery, does wonders for your sanity...

I'd add to @kpinnc 's post. 

 

Be sure to get a GOOD QUALITY  primer bulb. We've had the cheap ones fall apart in months. Great way to start a fire. 

 

Attwood brand is the choice here.

@kpinnc @ebinmaine  Many thanks for the input! I wouldn’t have thought about a marine primer even though I had a feeling it was just having a hard time pulling fuel after it had sat for a while. Any one have a pic of how and where they’ve routed them?

I don't have any pics handy but basically I try to tuck the primer bulb in just before the engine, on the starter side. That's only for the reason of practicality of space combined with ease of access to the bulb.
