You most likely Had air in the fuel system, or not enough fuel in the gas tank. I have had the same problem before. If your fuel pickup and baffle are not mounted correctly, you will need more fuel in the tank. Be careful when using starting fluid or ether. These products will wash the protective oil film off of the cylinder walls. Also, beware that if you spray the starting fluid into the air horn you need to keep your face out of the way, otherwise you may never have to shave again (fire hazard).
