It cranks and starts. Then when you shut it off (no matter how long you run
it). It wont start up or its cranks slowly for at least 35 mins then it will
crank and start up.

So if you run into a quikmart or get gas for a few mins and shut it off, it
wont start up until around 35 mins later.

This problem is quite common in imported cars. Changing the spark plugs
for platinum tipped plugs will make the problem go away immediately and
forever.

Itchy,

This guy was talking about a Kia. He has a car. C-A-R. CAR. What works
for your ryobi powered scooter doesn't necessarily apply to a real
mode of transportation such as a CAR(see above).

Regards,

Chris

sounds like a fuel pressure issue, most probably fuel pressure regulator.
