I have a Honda GVC160 powered pressure washer (with manual choke) that I've been using recently in 0C temperatures and it's noticeably harder to start than in the 20C summer. I've discovered that I can only seem to pull start it by popping off the air filter temporarily. This is a brand new air filter too, so not like it's clogged. I also start it with the pressure washer trigger depressed to minimize load.
I've recently serviced: the fuel filter, air filter, OEM NGK BPR6ES plugs with the proper gap, oil, carb fully cleaned, and engine fully seafoamed. Anything else you guys can think of to help make it easier to start? Is it normal for this engine to behave this way in the cold?
