Starting in the cold...is getting me crazy !!!

[Eliseo Monteverde]

Hi Folks!!!

My GS 650 MD only starts in the cold with full choke and injecting some drops of fuel through the plug holes (4).
If I try to start it without this procedure, the engine starts only for 2 or 3 seconds and dies suddenly.
After this, it is a waste of time to try to start the engine again, without the "manual injection".

Battery is full charge.
Spark plugs are new, and cleaned.
The coils have a blue spark in all cilinders (4).
Carbs have been cleaned and synch...or my mechanic has forgotten something?

Do I need to check the carbs for a clogged circuit or an air/fuel leaking?
I don?t really know what to do!!!!!!!
I?m very bored about this every day ritual , before and after going to work .

Eliseo.

if this is something new for the bike it is sounds like a carb rebuild /cleaning is in order. if this is something it has done all along then it sounds like a good candidate for a jet kit .imho Mark

It definitely needs some carb attention Eliseo. I'll bet your enrichner((choke circuit)) is not operating. Do you have a repair manual to see if it is at least connected to the choke cable.

Dom :

The choke cable it is working properly and the starter shaft slides softly.
Maybe my carbs, have an internal problem.
Suzuki service manual, doesn?t have a good information about the starter circuit; so I don?t know how to enrich the mixture.
But, when the engine is warm, it is possible to acelerate pulling the choke lever. :roll:
