I am behind the gasser learning curve. I don't even know what this mixture BS is that everyone talks about. I am a little reluctant to mess with stuff. I am starting to wish I would have held out for an m104.
Same exact thing here. Never had an actual problem getting it started, just have to crank for a second longer. It started after an ignition tune up and fuel filter change. I've never thought much of it.
