    Hard to start after sitting for a while?

    The fuel in the carb has probably evaporated and it will need priming. That’s what the thumb button on the tank is for, to prime the fuel system. It has to be pumped until it is firm and if the carb has fuel in it and the choke is working properly, the motor should fire off right away.
