First start hard

[coachhejl]

First start of day can be tough if using electric starter. Kicking makes it a bit better.

But rest of day it's fine.

What causes this?

Bad battery
Bad starter
Choke jet not tuned right
Valve adjustment wrong
Worn rings
Bad fuel
Bad reeds
Air leaks
Those are all I can think of atm.

Bad battery - brand new battery and after it starts and runs first time...you just tap it and it fires
Bad starter - think this relates to above
Choke jet not tuned right - is this the enricher? I dont think its working, it never revs up after starting initially
Valve adjustment wrong - 2 strokes dont have valves right?
Worn rings - I just installed new top end less than probably 150 miles ago
Bad fuel - new fuel, also ran in my other scooter just fine
Bad reeds - this may be it. Never have messed with them. Would it be smart to replace just for good measure?
Air leaks - maybe, but I try to really tighten these all down and make sure its sealed up
Those are all I can think of atm.

Thanks!
