Xciting 500 / Very hard to start 500 with carb
« on: March 26, 2013, 09:49:04 AM »
Hi
I got a 500 with carb, 2006. Its very hard to start when left in a normal temp in the garage, 15 C, during the night. If i leave it out in the cold, about - 10 C here in Sweden now it starts pretty much immediately. And fully warm it also starts as it should. I have cleaned the carb, checked the sparkplug and spark is ok. New battery. Still it feels very slow on the starter, and sometimes almost comes to a stop when starter is running. All cables to the starter is ok.
Once started it runs perfect, stable idle speed and good response on the throttle.
Any ideas on what to check?
