[QUOTE="sshev, post: 37686, member: 4446"] I'm new to this group, so thanks in advance for any advice. I recently bought a clean low houred (1500) Bobcat 742b. Its got the Mitsubishi 4G32 engine. I really like it and it runs well, at least once you get it started and warmed up. Starting it cold is the problem. You have to pump the throttle lever rapidly with it fully choked and eventually it'll pop. After it starts, it takes a long time to warm it up enough so it'll move. Once warm, it idles smooth and runs great. I've replaced the points, plugs and condenser...didn't seem to help much. Carb kit? Fuel filter? Whats the most likely culprit? It does have a hose heater on it, but if it's this hard to start at 50°, I'm really worried about getting it going in an Iowa winter. Thanks [/QUOTE]
