Valves on a Predator
It is about 50-60 at night and 80-90 during the day so it is not even that cold here it just has a hard time after it cools down. It was just after it sat over night but now it is after it just sits for a half hour to an hour. I have not had this kinda problem with anything else I have had. I am starting to think that it is either the compression is low (burnt valve or rings) or ignition problems?????? The weird thing is that when I pull start it she starts every time????

I have checked the plug several times it always comes out looking good it really seems as if it is not getting enough fuel but like I said when I pull start it she will fire right up. That is what is confusing me. Right now I have reversed it back to stock form and still no luck this is what is making me think that something electrical or mechanical has gone south??????

sucks to be you man, I've had my Pred almost a year and last winter it started just fine no matter what the temp. I do however, have a Honda CBR motorcycle that just will not start after the temperature drops past 60 degrees no matter what. Some engines cold blooded and some are not? I agree with Modquad though it is probably just not jetted right. Not the main or pilot, but some of the starter jets and such. The ones that one would normally not have to fool with.

Not saying this could be it, but check the timeing. My brothers Z-400 was doing the same thing. It would not start cold at all unless you pull started it. But once it was warm, it would start. To find out, the timeing jump a tooth, so he didn't have much for compression to start it.
