Anyone experienced hard start after the machine is off for couple of hours? I have to hit the gas pedal a couple of times and it starts, turn off and start again is smooth.

Ok.. so from what you’ve described the first things I would do are... Replace the plugs.. drain tank and try new fresh gas make sure my air filter is clean. It’s an engine...it needs spark, fuel and air. Those are the 3 simplest things to address... start with them and go from there. It could be a number of things... it’s hard to diagnose off internet descriptions.

Nope, and now that you mention it i did overfill my tank just before it started, could this somehow be the reason?
how do I perform the fuel vent mode?
