I have a 13 hp Honda engine. It gets very difficult to start when the weather is cold (below 40 f). The oil level in the engine and pump is is correct.
The low pressure shut down is disconnected.
It feels like the compression is not releasing.
You can pull the spark plug out and it still is extremly hard to crank.
If you let the machine warm up in the sun several hours you can eventually get it to start.
The unit is stored in an enclosed trailer. All water is blown out of the pump before storage. A movers blanket is than placed over the pump and engine. The unit is not freezing.
I have an 11hp Honda stored under the same conditions and dont have any problems with it.
Any input would be appreciated!
