Does it start right back up without you choking it ?
Please check your plugs one may be fouled or gap incorrectly ?
Verify your engine is operating at the correct temperature.

Thanks Guys!!

Nymack -
She starts right up immediately without choke.
Plugs are brand new and not fouled. Didn't check gaps, but I can.


Ferm - I believe you are into something here. Is there a test for the timer base? I know it's time to break down and buy a manual. Looks like this timer base 0583508 is used on 120/140's (80's - ??) and the 130's too.
