Default Slow Ignition? GX 470 2005

Greetings

My father has been running into some issues with this particular model as of late, he has replaced most of the sensors, as far as i know it's the valve timing, coolant, regulator in and output.

But it keeps struggling on the ignition, i will attach a video of it https://streamable.com/cboeb

Any clues about what is going on i would highly appreciate, might make a mistake or two since I'm not car savvy and language barrier with name parts, and this might be a common issue talked to death but i'm not even sure how to begin researching for this so i'm sorry if it is a repetitive topic.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Look for cracks in hoses, loose boots on the intake side, etc.

You'll see some YouTube videos of people using carburetor cleaner to find a leak - just be aware that if you spray it on something like a hot exhaust, it'll catch fire RAPIDLY. You might want to just ask your mechanic to check for a leak, but if he's already been throwing $$$ at this problem with no success - find a new mechanic.
