Needs a little "help on first start up

Olds Guy · Nov 9, 2013

Ok I had the carbs on the 85 gone thru - cleaned tin the ultra sonic cleaner. Bike runs great but wont 1st start for a bitch with out a little "aerosol" help...but then starts just fine after that...

Help..what is my next step?

Is the choke working?

What are the A/F screws set at?

starting easier when warm does sound like lean.

Could be lean or check the cranking voltage (battery could be partially bad).

Sounds like enrichener problem. (choke)

Well I am thinking it might have to do a little with a massively draging starter. The goofball I bought it from was jumping from his truck trying to start it...with this bike - it is 1 little thing after another - but I love it because it means I am making everything "right" on it!!
