Please describe your starting issues. What does it do when you try to start it normally and exactly what happens. More info will get you going. In the meantime you might want to figure out how to get the pigeons out of your barn/shed. Welcome. Sandy

When was your last tune-up?
Try removing and cleaning your Air Bypass Valve, use a new gasket to re-install.

Best advice is to start your own thread. Jumping into another person's thread for a different issue is considered poor web etiquette.There is a New Thread button on the upper left of the main forum page.

A sticking solenoid sound like trying to start the engine with a low battery. When the battery has low voltage the current from it will be much higher and can weld the contact plate to the contact points in the solenoid.
