Hi Charles - Those are nice Jenny's. I have a PU-181 which is essentially identical, same engine, frame etc. however it has an alternator for 120 VAC 60 cps 300 watts for PCG-1 field teletype sets. I use it for everything. Same experience - always starts with one pull even with ancient old fuel in it. Still has the original Korean war shielded spark plug in it, & no ignition noise! I use a long piece of 550 cord for the starter rope - really gets it going for awhile and it cant fail to start! I did have to replace the selenium diode bridge that runs the governor with silicon. A no-brainer...
Cheers,,,Tim
