Archived from groups: rec>motorcycles>tech (more info?)

I entered a topic in the past regarding my bike not starting several
weeks ago and all the great advice from users got it started, thanks.
Anyway the problem at that time was the bike would not start at all.
To make a long story short it was the carbs being pluged with old
congiled fule. After cleaning out the carbs and setting the idle the
bike ran great. By the way this was a complete tear down of the carbs.
The choking system worked I know this because when it was about 40
degrees I could start it with the choke and as it warmed I would
release the choke partialy until the bike was warmed up. So that being
said I was wondering what might cause the bike to start when the temp
outside is around 30 degrees. That is the only difference so you know
I started the bike twice a day to make sure that I ran a full tank
through the system of fresh gas. The fule in the bike now is fresh so
that shoudnt be the problem. Please let me know if you need any more
info.

Thanks
Jim

Does it idle smoothly?
Is the idle adjusted properly?

It might be a carb synchronization issue.

Or, it might be a battery that gets marginal when it's cold (load-test
battery, and you'll know for sure).

'indiana' is a 'nolnn' and 'hoosier' is a 'solkk'. Indiana doesn't solkk.
