Hu800awd Gcv190, Difficult To Start

I have a new HU800AWD GCV190, that has become difficult to start. Started right up out of eh box after filling with oil and fuel. Second time I used the mower it was quite hard to start -- finally turned over after about 15 pulls. Fuel and oil levels were all to spec, spark plug connection was good and the waether was good -- about 80 F.

Hi, it sounds like there is a problem somewhere in the fuel delivery system. It could one of a number of things:

- Old or poor-quality gasoline
- A clog in the fuel line, fuel filter, or carburetor
- Sediment in the gasoline
- Ethanol or other high-alcohol content gasoline

Any of these problems can be corrected by draining the fuel tank and hoses, cleaning the tank, hoses, and carburetor, and filling the fuel tank with fresh quality gasoline.

To verify that the problem is in the carburetor, fuel line, or fuel tank, remove the spark plug and add a teaspoon full of Seafoam to the cylinder, then reattach the spark plug and start the mower. It will start right up but then die quickly.
