Here's one for you to get your brain working. when starting the hippo, if it doesn't start on the first bite then it takes forever to get going. I usually have to bump it. The dizzy cap and ht leads are just under a year old and the plugs a reasonably new. Don't know how old the coil is. Any ideas guys

OEM or cheapo ebay?
There have been 2 or 3 K series hard to star threads recently. Might be good to check the last few pages of threads.
