i have noticed on my p650 that when i first start it up it is cold blooded as hell. it spits and sputters even after i release my choke. it sounds like its coming from where the air filters at. from a dead stop, when i hammer on it it has a hesitation to it.would that be because of the choke cable not releasing all the way?when i bought it about a month ago i asked the dealership about the choke cable from the factory and they said that they have never heard of the problem. i dont know if it would be the choke cable or maybe i need to syncranize the carbs. can anyone please help?

Hey Scootdog - you got any kind of pipe on that thing?

Rammy - mine is the same way. Cold natured as an old woman but still runs like a scalded dog once she warms up and it's stock.

EXT, she runs like a 3 dollar ***** on 2 for 1 nite! seriously it runs great! it will bust the 26` 589ms`s loose anytime i please. cold startup is no problem. before, even on a warm day it was a chore to get that hog to start.
