always flood when starte cold?

[YAMAGOOSE]

I always have to spray engine starter when starting the bike cold...??? after that its all good. but I feel after Im done riding for a day. the next time I try to start it again.. I have to repeat the same process. I thing after I shut the gas off.. there is some kind of leak and the carbs flood ?/ could there be a bad seal in there? please help ...like I said once I get it started it turns on good.?/?

is the bike stock? if not what modifications? sound like you are to small on your pilots.

sounds like you might check into a rebiuld.. if you have to spray starting fliud in it thats not good.. for one your spraying a very explosive fuel in there with no oil for lube. after it actually gets started it will get lube from the mixed gas.. you might do a compression test first.. then maybe look at the jetting.. but if compression is real low the starting fliud will help get it started cus its so explosive...

Dont use Starting fluid. If your going to use something use either the premix gas or carb cleaner. If topend is in good shape then maybe your pilot jets are to small. Do a compression check to be sure topend is good.

if its cold where ur at u might just have alot of condensation in ur cyl. why u need the extra gas to wash it away

[BANSHEEMANIAC]

if you dont have a compresion gauge, take and pour a little premix gas into each cylinder spark plug hole, the kick it to see if it cranks. if it does, cheak your carb, they are more than likely dirty or you jetting is off.

i had the exact same prob. Some one on here told me to do this and it worked for me. I turn my gas on 5 min before i go to start it. Always starts on about 3 kick now. Before i had to kick it about 200 times or spray starting fluid in there. Hope this helps :beer:
