While I was in the gargage last night I tried a trick on my (kick start only when cold) 2001 FX470e. I pull the compression release in just til I feel it "ride the cam". Starts every time now. This is after numerous valve adjustments, carb cleanings,selonoid, on a new battery and a new starter. I could get it to restart hot but no luck when it was cold.
Hope this helps someone.
