[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1405893, member: 18302"] Sounds like you may have some condensation in the float bowl or in the gas tank. I would drain the float bowl and fuel tank, then get some fresh gas and a new spark plug. Here is my drill for starting a hard to start bike: Turn the gas on and lay the bike on its side for 10 seconds - you want to see fuel running out the over flow tubes for at least a few seconds. Pick the bike up and turn the choke on. Kick it over SLOWLY a few times to prime the cylinder. Find top dead center by moving the kickstarter gently - it will get slightly harder to move as you approach TDC. Just as the resistance eases, the piston is at TDC. Put your right hand on the master cylinder so you don't give it any gas (some bikes do like a tiny bit of throttle on cold start, but you don't want any more than that). Return the kicker to the top and KICK as hard as you can. If no luck, return to TDC and try again. (kicking from TDC lets the piston build up the maximum amount of speed before the next compression stroke). Technique can make a big difference. [/QUOTE]
