Bike takes a while to start

Mikey DEEEE · May 15, 2009

Hi, im michael from AZ and when i start my bike it starts stuttering and it takes a while to start can i get some help with this?

Hi Mikey, theres a choke lever on the right side of the carby that you move up so the engine can cold-start. As the engine warms up, you move it back down to its normal position. Try that and see if it works..

What Syd said! Also there is a priming button on the side of the carb. Try holding that down for a count of 5 before you start out. Where in AZ are you?

There is an idle screw on the side of the carb. Try adjusting that in and out to see if it makes a difference.

This is a double thread, so I'll lock this one.
