Default predator mechanical problem?

alright predator people. My friends 03 predator does not start well. we have to pour a crap load of raw fuel in to the carb to get it to fire. with out it it is hopeless. he is running the same set up as me and mine starts right up. we have checked everything. even changed carbs, fuel pump, and still his wont start for like 15 minutes. is there something I am missing? any idea's?

if after you get it warmed up it starts up fine, its your valves for sure. thats why you shuold always check your clearances on a cold machine
