mine would take awhile to crank if he sit for 2 weeks.. with mine, the longer it sits , the longer it takes to start, if I drive or start it one day, then it will fire right up the next day, if I wait 3 or 4 days then I have to try a little longer,,mine has no choke though, I just try and drive or start it at least ever 3 days... no help here but just my story and I am sticking to it..
