When it does finally start, does it first blow out some grayish smoke and then clear up as it gets up and running?

Hmmm...fuel overage may be an issue. The owner's manual said it hold 1.1 gal. I got 1.078 gal of gas, put it in expecting to have enough room...and overflowed a bit, without pouring in all of it. We tried to clean it out a bit. Maybe tomorrow I will need to get a turkey baster and drain bit. Will also play with the choke the way you mentioned. Thanks for the info. As far as grayish smoke, none.
