I sometimes prime the bulb for fuel. I pull with the choke on general one pull but sometimes two. I did get it to start with the foam off the air filter. I forsure know I had too much oil. Then the engine started to bog. Now I need to re tune back to factory. My elevation is 6200 ft. What setting do you suggest for this altitude?Starting method should be one to two pulls with the choke on (should hear the engine blip like it tried to start), turn the choke off, then it should start and run. Tell us what your starting procedure is if it is different than above.
What is your altitude there in Idaho? You might need to lean the carb a bit. Factory needle settings are generally for sea level. I live and play at 6800 ft. So, I had to lean mine a little for it to run properly.
Edit to add: As temps increase as spring/summer approaches you might get the engine to start without using the choke at all
