Its not been too cold here, but what I was told to do was go full choke for about
10-30 sec, and then try starting.. it should start right up, let it run for 2-3 min at full
or 3/4 choke and you should be good to go..

 

oops, i started mine up the other day and finally remembered to leave the key on for a few seconds prior, let it go about 10 seconds than amazingly it started on not even the second crank, haha.

 

im serious just use a squirt of starting fluid only around 3 bucks for a can and it starts it like a charm.. if i didnt have that i would have to crank for about 2 mins to have it start and stall and try all over again

 

Starting fluid is good but horrible on your cylinder wall.....

 

ah well its good to breath any way.. wakes u up know what im saying? LOL

 

Most Kawies are hard to start cold. Main thing is carb & valve ADJ. Un less worn Kaw. If newer,find a Mech. Or read. Ha. Maintain it & it will run for a long time. Brushog
