I have been having a new issue that just started this riding season, when the bike is warm/hot no problems starting, when the bike is COLD from sitting a few hours to overnight, I put the choke on and my Odyssey battery turns the engine over at a great pace! the carbs (not sure which one(s) back fire (fart), let off the start button and do it again the bike starts right up; or it wont start and I get a LOUD BACK FIRE from the exhaust... I do smell gas when this occurs.. I believe the carbs are flooding, The next day I tried starting with the choke at about 25% open, no carb farts but the engine turned and turned for about 10 secs before firing up... Now today I tried starting it with no choke, the bike would not fire at all, I left the choke off and held the throttle open just a hair off idle, the bike started right up...
ANY IDEAS??? :bang head:
