My L110 doesn't want to start. Some times it'll start right up, no problems. Other time, it cranks and cranks without firing up. I attempt to the following:
1) push throttle to choke position
2) turn key to start
3) engine cranks (sometimes starts)
4) battery gradualy dies (then I jump if necessary)
5) After a few seconds, I smell fuel as if it may be flooded.

I changed the spark plug earlier this spring and it solved the problem, but I'm only used the tactor a few times and the problem is back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Eric

Hi,
When you replaced the plug, did you gap it to 0.030"? Most come with too big a gap which will cause this problem
Peace,
