Gonna have Allan kick me for this one, but I have to ask. Normally I see nothing but red in the barn, but I had a chance to pick up a green one like my great uncle had. Best as I can tell it is a 53 model 50. Not bad, not good, but it runs. Figured I would use it for hayrides for the kids at church. Problem is, when it's cold...it is really hard to start. Cranks good, just does not fire up. It will eventually start...but has to be hard on the battery. Pull it 10 feet and it pops right off. Had an old man tell me to put it in neutral and engage the clutch. He said the clutch will drag it down when cranking dis-engaged. I really do not want to engage the clutch for fear it will pop in gear or something. Anyone have any ideas? I know it needs a carb overhaul. I have already put plugs, and a tune up kit in it. Thanks in advance.
