    22 ton county line splitter. Only used about 4 or 5 tanks of gas. Getting difficult to start and notice gas spitting out of muffler when trying to start. No clue why. Operator error? Carb issue? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Maybe try leaving the choke open when starting?

    Check the float in the carb mite be stuck or ithas a hole in it and it's flooding it.

    Float is probably sticking, make sure gas didn't get into your crankcase and dilute your oil. I'd just shut the gas off after every use.
