Rich,
Thank you for contacting Answer Army. That particular engine is equipped with an automatic choke built in. As the ambient air gets cooler along with the engine then the engine requires more fuel to start and run until it is warmed up. Also, along with stricter EPA requirements then these engines may take a couple more pulls than older units when the unit is first started.
When restarting your engine after it has been running, the auto choke will be reset for each restart. We recommend that once the engine has been started, please wait several seconds (Approximately 10) for the choke to disengage, the engine to warm up and run smoothly again.
