procharger Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Since setting the choke to only close about half way, I now get engine started first turn of key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Something's wrong with this. Have the carbs ever been overhauled or dis-assembled? What is your idle rpm after you are warmed up? What position is your throttle at start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procharger Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Carbs. were done back in Aug. 1700 rpm throttle closed to start. As I said before my HKS engine is set up same way and starts perfect, not sure why but HKS has been that way for 8 years?? I would like to understand why.

Roger Lee Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Was it hard to start before the carb work? On first start have you tried full choke and crack the throttle? Look at the end of the choke shaft and make sure the little center punch dot on the end of the shaft is pointing toward the pipe like extrusion on the carb.

Roger Lee Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Also try closing your plug gap to its minimal gap stated for your engine. Wide gaps make harder starting in cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
