   Hi Vaughn,   
      
       Below is from my previous post.  Please comprehend what it says.

       Notice I said, "the generator started with only one pull".   This   
   generator was "bone dry" when I bought it new.   
      
      The main difference between the first time,  and later is the temperature   
   of the generator.   The first time, it was mild (50 degrees).  After that,   
   the generator was COLD.   
      
         QUESTION:   
      
       When the generator is COLD,  does it take a while to fill the "bowl"?
