Hi again! So i've set up my scooter now, it runs great, in 7seconds it gets up to 70km/h, but it's hard to start when it's cold. Let say for example, I ride around for a half an hour and then I go to my friends house, he tells me to go to the shop and get something, when i turn the ignition on and press the starter once for maybe 1-2seconds, it start with no throttle what so ever and keeps an idle of 2k rpg, when I come back, stay at my friends house for about three hours, I try to start my scooter, it doesn't start without throttle, I have to crank the starter and pull , realase, pull, realse the throttle about two, thre times for it to start. When it warms up after a minute or two i turn the ignition off, try to start it again and it start with no throttle needed. Please help, thanks in advance!  |

It shouldn't be that way with modern technology and all but you are driving a carbureted vehicle. My scooter started without throttle for a little while when I first got it but it basically never does anymore I always have to give a quick snap of the throttle. Its inconvenient but its just the nature of the beast I guess. Atleast you don't have to pump the throttle before you hit the starter like the old cars. |

Could be an issue with the choke or enricher. Could need some fine tuning of the idle mixture and speed. One quick swap that sometimes improves hard starting till the real issue is found is an iridium spark plug. If you use NGK just replace the last letter with IX usually. For example I use a BR8HS as a standard NGK plug for my Minarelli and BR8HIX is the iridium equivalent.

I was told maddogs were cold blooded. Took slack out of throttle cable, starts right up and purrs nicely.

Normally the gap is around 0.024-0.028" or something like 0.6-0.7mm.
