Message: [QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1214439, member: 73139"] You shouldn't have to hold it wide open to start. In fact, I've found it quite difficult to start 2-strokes if the throttle is any more than half open. I severely flooded my bike when it sat upside down on the side of a hill, I had to hold the throttle wide open to get it to start then. Is your bike running excessively rich on the pilot circuit or flooding? Maybe the float level is too high? If you let the bike sit with the fuel valve on, does it eventually start dumping fuel out the carb vents? [/QUOTE]
