Im going to step out on a limb here because I really dont know for sure about the 500 engine even though I recently bought one. Still learning. In other small engines I have delt with progressivly harder starting was an indication the valves needed adjusting.(I think they tighten up over time) That being said i dont know if the 500 valves can or need adjusting. Also I thought I read somwhere that a low battery can cause havic with the guages and speedo pod causing them to act irattic. If the battery got low while trying to start it maybe that has somthing to do with you guage problems.
