Actually, that sounds very much like th eproblem I had on my T595, it would
turn over, (lights & everything worked), just took ages to fire up, if it
did. It would have to catch on the first spark (after about 12 cranks or so)
or it'd not start until I'd left it for a minute.
This only happened if it hadn't been started for a couple of hours. The
workshop tried adjusting mixture, throttle adjustments, different tunes,
checked the wiring, plumbing.....
Strangely enough, it started fine if the battery was completely and freshly
charged (a day after charging would be too old).
Changed the battery and bob's your uncle. No probs since.
Tim.
