[QUOTE="stormer94, post: 207280, member: 23528"] The idle thing sounds like a good idea, I was thinking about that as well. I might try that. I decided that no two wheeled demon is gonna get the best of me!!!! :p So after dinner I went out to try it again. It's now about 45degrees in the garage. I turned on the gas, did NOT pull out the cold start nob. I had previously decided to call that the choke. Yamaha calls it a cold start knob. It's not that I'm smart or anything, I actually forgot to pull the knob. So I give the throttle 4 full twists. I kick it 4 times and it makes a gurgle, I was so happy I nearly wet myself. I pulled the cold start nob and within 10 kicks it finally started. :scream: :) :) I rode it around for about an hour. Killed it twice, and it started second kick the first time I killed it. Started the second time the first kick. I actually got brave and shut it down on purpose, and dang if it didn't start up again. The last time I shut it down to chat with some buddies, I started it WITHOUT the hot start button after it sat for about 15 minutes... first kick. I think I can hot start the thing now. But I'm still dubious as to the method for when it's cold. I think I'm gonna try this tomorrow. 3 twists of the throttle, 2 kicks WITHOUT the cold start knob, wave my MAGIC chicken foot over the carb, say a few hail Mary's, then pull the knob and kick till it fires. I sure enjoyed it when it ran, so I'm willing to put up with it. My back is frickin KILLING ME!!! Gonna take 30-40 ibuprofen and go to bed. :confused: [/QUOTE]
