[Rhodes22-list] Jump Starter

[Rob Granger]

I don't know a lot about OBs but it sounds like you need to have this one
serviced.  Mine is a manual so I don't have any first hand knowledge but
for mine  I pull the choke out, pull slowly.  Put the choke back in and it
starts on the next pull.   Maybe you just need a tune up or new plugs...???
