Slow starting

[Silverlegacy]

Hi all again,


thought i was winning the battle with my fazer but recently she has started playing up a little again.
When i go to work in the morning, most of the time she starts fine, still need a little bit of choke as its still a bit cool but runs ok, once i get to work i park it up and when i come to start it again about 7 hours later it takes a couple of seconds and a bit more throttle to get it going?
Also recently the Immobiliser has started playing up, it arms and disarms fine, but it used to beep when I used to put my dallas key on the thing and it sets itself when i  take the key out of the ignition, but lately its not doing that.

Start by charging the battery.

battery now on charge :-)
I did change the regulator/rectifier a month or so ago after reading a thread about how it can effect the bike? but maybe this wasnt the problem and i bought a dodgy one off ebay and its just added another thing to fix? will see how this goes as i still have the old one at home so can swap them over.
My main problem is i do 10 things at once instead of one at a time to try and narrow down the fault.
All advice greatly appreciated :-)

I get the same each year, I've always put it down  to the bike being parked in sunshine and after a long day at work I believe the fuel evaporates from the carbs, even tho the fuel pump ticks a few times it still needs to turn several times before it will fire.
Try parking somewhere more sheltered?

I did actually wonder about that, as i park my bike right outside my office which is a metal cabin and sometimes its roasting hot when i go to get on it in the afternoon.


Although im still trying to work out little bits and bobs with it so never know it its just one of those faults i never got around to sorting.

Also battery has been fully charged and put it back on and still took a second or two to start, although did have it running at lunch, so will check again at 4:30pm.

Check the TPS setting

Will check the TPS tonight as i have the torq thing at home.
Just seemed odd that this seems to have started the same time as my immobiliser has stopped beeping? still works fine, just no noise coming from it?
I was thinking about taking it out, but looks like a fair few wires coming off it and my electrical knowledge about as good as my mechanical! so rather not touch it.

What make of alarm is it?

It's a Ross M1 , heard it's an earlier version of the Meta alarm?
It's unlocked with a Dallas key fob thing.
