Since new and after sitting all night, it takes 2 tries of the starter button to fire up. The first try, it fires but immediately stalls. On the second try it starts right up. Is this normal? My procedure is to turn the key to ON and the red kill switch to ON, then wait about 10-15 seconds before hitting the green start button. I would have thought that the fuel injection/computer system would be able to run on the first try. If this is not normal, then I will take it in for warranty service. I run only ethanol free gasoline.
Also since new, the electric cooling fan seems to run a lot. I shutdown using the red kill switch and leave the key on until the fan shuts off. This often takes (seems like) 4-5 minutes. The coolant level is at max line on the overflow bottle when cold. I’m really not working the bear that hard. Normal?
I would be interested in hearing from others with this same motor.
Overall it has been an awesome purchase. Neither "problem" is a showstopper, just annoying.
