   Hi John,   
      
       Note: Temperature 28 degrees (generator in shed).   
      
       After I mounted my "rigging" and changed the handle at the end of the rope   
   (made rope a little longer), I tried your procedure,  but this time I can   
   stand up to pull on the recoil starting rope.   
      
       I still had to pull several times before  the engine started.   
      
       At least it is not as difficult (pulling on the rope) as it is   
   kneeling and pulling sideways.   
      
   BTW,   
      
      A week ago I reported my difficult cold starting issue at   
   www.championpowerequipment.com web site (leaving my email address).   
   I did not get a reply yet.   
      
          Thanks again,  John
