make sure you have no air leaks at your carburetor. When the fuel system is right, it should be between 1/3rd to 1 turn out on the low speed needle, depending on which needle you have. Some versions have a slow taper, longer point, others are a fast taper, shorter point. More turns out means you have something wrong.
These 9.5’s need to have absolutely 100% clean jets or they won’t work right!
It should start on the 3rd pull, sometimes 2nd, when cold and dry. 1-2 pulls to get fuel into the motor, 3rd pull ignites it. If you’re missing the o-ring/packing on the low speed jet, the motor will be a hard start!
