Sometimes when I start my Buddy 170 it has a hard time turning over, it sounds like it has enough juice to start, but just doesn’t.
Sometimes I find I can get it to work by revving the gas while I press the ignition button, after doing that a few times, most of the time it works.
I replaced the battery a few months ago, so I was worried there was a problem with it or my charger, so I bought this: http://amzn.to/1ogADdL and testing it. Even when I was having problems I was getting 12v+.
Any ideas as to what may be causing the issue?

Thanks avescoots1134, I'll try that I can't recall the last time I tried to reset my throttle. To confirm, by 'wait for the fuel pump to turn off, you are talking about the red light, looks like a 'check engine' sort of light?
I just had it serviced last month, so i wouldn't expect it to be a problem with the valves unless the work wasn't done right.
