Viking 110
My Viking 110 (Honda Fit) has had difficulty starting. It used to start on the first try, after 2-4 seconds of cranking. Then, lately, it needed two attempts at starting, and would start after 3-4 seconds during the second try. Lately, tho, it now needs 3 attempts at starting (even a little kickback). I replaced both low pressure pre-pump fuel filters (Wix/Duralast), as both had dark pleats. I always use 91 octane premium. I was about to change the high pressure (bronze colored metal) filter, but am waiting for new plastic clips to arrive. Plugs are new/gapped/torqued correctly.
Can anyone offer some additional suggestions to pursue? Thanks!!
