Have a DRX50 and it has trouble starting. It will start after about 10-15 kicks. It wont electric start at all anyone know where to start the trouble shooting.

Sounds almost like a compression issue. What year is it and when was it last rebuilt?

YEP What Jerkyboy said. Piston and rings. when compression gets low, it wont start with the electric start and eventually gets hard to start with the kicker. Same thing yours is doing
