No, this is the larger WaveVenture. Do you use 93 octane? My son-in-law told me to leave the gas valve "on" at the end of the day. I know in the past we have had to charge the battery as much as possible thinking most of the fire is going to start it and not to the plug. It really has to spin fast to crank, but once it cranks, it is good for the day.
The only other problem is after letting it idle a while it won't take off when you give it the gas.
