fuel/air mixture?

[Dead Eye]

Is it just when it's cold that you have the starting problem? Me it doesn't matter if it's hot or cold. I could go for an hour ride and turn it off for a second and will be difficult to start.

Nope, mine only does it when cold. Can go out for 20 mins, park up for half an hour and it will start fine - sorry I can't be more helpful

I'm surprised, it's usually me doing the hijacking  :hijack :lol


I guess at the end of the day it couldn't hurt to try and fiddle with the mixture screws but be warned they are made of cheese so are difficult to adjust unless you remove the carbs (which isn't a particularly quick job). Stuffing some 99% alcohol in to the tank as darrsi suggested isn't a bad move and won't do any harm and whilst you're at it you may as well drain the float bowls if going this route. If this doesn't help, I'd start looking at the electrics / spark as I mentioned earlier

Let us know how you get on
