You think Hawks are bad? I remember way back when Yamaha and Suzukis were just 2-strokes and you sometimes had to push them what seemed like a quarter mile to get them to fire; and then do it again a couple times to get them to keep running. I never owned one; I just watched others running down the road with theirs to coax them to start. That was enough to tell me, "stay away..." So, I have always owned Hondas. Never had a starting problem. New or used. But the no throttle and half or full choke always works... Stanley
