simple question:
i found out that my lc very hard to start if i leave if for more than 2 days. need to pull the choke and start > then start it without choke pulled. repeat the steps for 4-5 times only then the engine can start. i leave my 20 year old ex5 like more than 3 weeks but i can start it with 1 attempt without the need of using the choke at all. my ex5 battery and plug are more than 3 years old already...
The EX5 mia FC good or bad? when pulas kuat, got asap hitam or not?
A well jetted carb is supposed to be harder to start when it is cold.
When you pull the choke, it will draw more fuel to get it started by burning rich. After warm up liao, then the engine will run smooth. Otherwise, maybe the carb dried up already.
Sometimes, poorly maintained bikes start easy for the wrong reasons.
For my RGV, when it was maintained well, every morning I need to pull the choke, just a bit to rich the fuel. It will run slowly to warm up... and slowly close the choke. Once warmed up, it can fly. FC is 180km per 5 liter and 280km on highway, better than all 4 stroke kapcai except FZ... tsk tsk tsk... Compared to other RGV, morning start one kick, but asap banyak, one tank highway jalan baru 120km.
Hope this explains a bit.
