Ransomes Marquis starting

Hello, Can someone advise please? I have two Ransomes Marquis that will only start once Carb start has been sprayed through plug hole! They both run fine after that and restart when warm!! They just will not start from cold without help!! Any suggestions please? Cheers, Colin.

With the sloper engine? Sounds like carb pfroblem , have you cleaned the carb? Put in a ultrasonic cleaner or give thorough clean with carb cleaner.

Hello. Yes, I have stripped and cleaned both carbs to no avail. Have reground the valves on one so I will see if that makes a difference, Cheers!
