    1994 20hp cold starting issue

    It likes to break at the linkages on the carb. They are only plastic so it happens the rod may be floating around in the motor somewhere. Here are some pics of mine should be similar. Not having the rod in place is probably causing the hard starting. Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest.
