In cold weather when I don't want to crank it a long time, I give it a shot of go-juice, crank it through at least four cylinders, then turn on the ignition. It will usually hit on the next cylinder or two.

Now that it's warmer, I just crank it and jiggle the choke - it goes.

I don't like starting fluid in any large quantities - just a personal thing.

I don't think fuel filters do very well as check valves, but I've not thought it through. My mower is the world's worst because the filter is in-line and vertical. From our discussions here the last couple of weeks, we have wondered just how efficient fuel pumps are at the suction side. A check valve might be too big a restriction ...

We need a guinea pig to try it out for us!
