is it a problem with irratic idle?

try cleaning out the throttle body. I used to have bad starts too, like it would take 3-4 tries before it would start up. After i cleaned out the throttle body and the idle thingie it starts up fine.

thanks for the replies. i will try cleaning the Throttle body,

it' cranks up, but at low rpms this just happended a few time so far. but if i shut it down and re crack starts up fine or if i rev to like 5 or 6 rpm it goes in the normal process. more suggestions are welcome

thank again

sorry i'm just not understanding the problem... is it just idling too low or does it choke and die?
