It takes me a while to kickstart my tecate 4 when it's cold. I dont really know why. When warm, it starts first kick everytime. Any suggestions on cold kickstarting? Thanks, guys.

 

the best thing you can do is use the choke and no gas.but if your pilot is to lean that could make it hard starting when cold.try adjusting your air/fuel mixture screw to 1 1/2 turns out from bottom.and see if that helps.

 

A few more things to check;
1. How fresh is your fuel. The vapors we see coming from gas are there to help an engine start easier.
2. How is you cranking preasure? low preasure = hard start.
3. How hot is your spark. A failing stator (week spark) can also make it hard to start.

Mine always starts fist or second kick by using only the choke and no throttle. If it doesn't then I start checking the above things and repair as needed.

Good luck on fixing it.
