Yesterday we filled up our gas tank. Ever since we've been having a hard time starting it. It sounds like it's going to turn over, but it takes several tries to get it to start. We actually get to the point where it seems as though it's not going to start at all. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi:

Did it give you the problem the first time you started it after filling the tank? If not, the gas may be the problem. Try to run it out and see if the next tank makes a difference.

Let me know, and we'll go from there.
