I could really use some advice on a starting problem. This is the second three wheeler I have restored, still somewhat of a newbie at this. I got my 350x completed, it runs and rides great, but I have to kick it about 40 times or more and after some foul language and a sore ankle it usually starts. The engine has a new top end, I have a new plug in it, I rebuilt the carb with a good quality kit. Once warmed up it runs excellent with no problems.
I have learned to start at full choke, it will usually fire and try to start initially out of the garage, but nothing I do will keep it running and then once it dies it takes forever to restart, it will start and run 3 to 4 seconds and die, then multipe kicks of nothing, then will start and run 3 to 4, and repeats this cycle till finaly runs. I do not have the decomp lever hooked up yet as a bolt is stripped out for the bracket, not sure if this makes a big difference. Once running it runs great and restarts easier after warm up, but still 10 to 15 kicks after fully warm. I see these adds for them where people say "starts 2nd or 3rd kick"? Any advice is more than welcome.
Thanks.
