Choke circuits working OK?AaronOregon wrote: I did what you said to do today. Bike has sat for about 3-4 days. I turned it to prime for about 3 minutes while I swept out the garage. Might have made a little difference, but not much. Cranked for about 10 seconds before firing. Any other ideas?

Sometimes a hard starter may be fouling a plug and it takes a bit of cranking to "wash" it clear to fire.

I wasn't going to say that..... :laugh:
They all get harder to start after sitting a few days. I just rebuilt my engine a few years back so it is pretty easy to start.... easy defined as fires after maybe 2 or 3 spins.

+1 had the same thing for a while, there is nothing harder to start than a flooded engine. :blink:ramtough_63 wrote: how is your petcock?
