Hey guys, I just changed my oil and spark plug(didn't need to), usually it started in the first kick, however the start right after the change was a bitch to get going!!! is this normal??? will it go back to first kick start? thanks, Dan.

As long as the oil level is correct, take that out of the equation. Is the new plug the same brand/# as the old? Is it gapped properly?

Not normal - should start-up as easy if not easier than it did prior to spark plug change.

P.S.Make sure you cap is snapped onto the plug.

Check the gap on your new plug. Make sure it sparks when grounded to the frame.

I set the oil a litle higher then before and the plug is the same as the old, stock one, I'll take for a spin sat and see how it goes!!!

It should be OK. Let us know...

fuel?

maybe even water in fuel?

nothing makes starting harder than a tiny amout of water in the carb bowl

Why did you put water in your gas when you changed your oil and plug?

Hit up the basics:
air filter
gas
carb
plug

If the only things you did were oil and plug, put the old plug back in and see what happens -- if it fires on the first kick you've isolated your problem.
