[junior1113]

ran it for 2 hours and noticed it has to be started twice. first try the rpms start at 1100 then in 3 seconds it goes down to 500 and dies second time rpms start at 1100 and drop to 800 after 3 seconds and ide back to like 900. is there something that kepps rpms up for a short time on start up does'nt seem like its working properly? runs great idles great just is being stuburn on start up.

The motor has Quick Start which will bring the rpm up a bit until it warms up. Sounds like it's working but you may have to bump the primer a couple of times as it first warms up.You shouldn't have to give any throttle though. How are the carbs & plugs?

this is happening on warm startup and just started. it used to stay up longer i think. carbs rebuilt 6 mos ago and plugs are 1 month old. 2 brand new batteries. thanks for your time Dale

From what you say, it's hapening just after initial starting & also after a 'warm' start.
Dhadley is spot on as usual, the quick start operates after a warm start too, but only briefly, as well as a cold start. Supprised you hadn't noticed it before.
The motor could stall out if it had cooled down more than you'd thought, you could try the test again, & give it a push on the primer just before it stalls to see if that restores it. I reckon after it has run a bit longer (thus warmer) it'll go back to it's normal idle speed.

Its normal to have to bump the choke ( key) in to maintain idle speed for about the first 30 seconds.
If you have different symptoms , you haven't described them.
Sounds normal from here.
Is it doing something different from previous runs?
