I would return it and try another Predator. I'd rather have a good Honda OHV clone than a flattie Briggs any day. We know from posts here and elsewhere that the Predator is decent engine, so there's got to be something wrong with yours. And a motor you can return locally is a let easier to deal than one you have to ship back if there is a problem. I might though send a buddy in to HF to buy the next one just in case the next one is no better - some stores don't like people who return the same item over and over. But see how they act when you return this one. HF usually is good about returns.
Do i need a new engine for my splitter, huskee 22 ton?

My one year old Honda powered mower has one of those automatic chokes. To start it you just grab the safety bar and hold it against the pusher handle to remove the engine brake then pull the recoil cord. It sometimes takes 2 pulls to get it running. If you let it run dry or use the fuel shutoff it sometimes takes more than 2 pulls. There is no manual choke and no throttle control on this mower.
