    3 cylinders, cold start

    Hey

    Now it's beginning to be seriousley cold in the mornings. Below 0 degrees (we use celcius over here). I thout my GS 550 was a slow starter but now I realised that it only runs on 3 cylinders while warming up. When its warm it runs like a rocket in all 4. (thanks for all advises) What is the most probable failuer with the cylinder. Its the one on the left side that is a slow starter.

    Probably the choke tube in the float bowl is clogged.
