Kinked fuel hose stopping fuel flow?
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: starting issues.
is this with or without choke?
unless it's -10, mine don't like the choke at all and dies off,
i make sure the carbs/fuel pump are primed, turn the kill switch on - off - then on again and hit the start, if the engine catches then a little bit of throttle not much should do the trick

Re: starting issues.
sounds like it could be manky carbs then,
a good clean'll sort that out and check the air filter and fuel filters as you go and see if that does the job
