Re: My 503 dont start after cleaning airfilter

Before you re-oiled the filter did you let it dry overnight after washing it. To rule out an air filter prob...have you tried to start it with out the a/f jst as a test in a non dusty environment of course. Yes the air filter was dry but thanks for the advice anyway. Looks like I have a battery pro...

My 503 dont start after cleaning airfilter

I took the air filter off and cleaned it again wit...
