Hello Fellow MOAERS,
Last December b-4 I put my new GSA (1600 miles) into winter hibernation I did the usual Sta-Bil fuel treatment. Changed the oil as well.
March 1st the bike was back in service.
As the miles added up and the fuel in tank was burnt, the bike began to develope a cold start problem.
First it just cranked a bit longer than usual b-4 firing normally.
Turns over plenty fast.
I has now become a no-start condition, unless, as I crank it over I crack the throttle open a bit, at which time it fires, sputtering for a few moments as I continue to hold the throttle open, and then smoothes, at which time I can allow it to settle into a normal idle.
Once started, it seems to run just fine. Completely normal. No stalling, bucking or hesitation.
I have pumped in 5 gallons of fresh Premium Shell Fuel and a bit of Techron as well.
100 miles since the new fuel and no change.
Once it runs for a few moments, everythings fine.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
