when i try to start the wagon after it has been sitting for more than 3 hours or so it has a REALLY hard time starting. once it finally does start, it sounds like its about to die for about 2 minutes and it i take the clutch out at all or try to give it any gas, it DOES die.... WHY does my wagon hate starting???????? :dead:

By the way, once it gets going, it starts just fine every time unless it sits too long again... it also has started backfiring when i shut it off the first time, i dont know if that's got anything to do with anything, but there it is.....

All carb issues. Sounds like choke problems if its not starting when cold.

good point.. i did adjust it a couple of weeks ago... maybe i set the idle too low... thanks

Yea it sounds like ur loading up check the choke. make sure everything is clean in the venturi of the carb. see if ur getting a good spray of gav when revving up and make sure the secondary is not spraying until floored.
