I have an 06 hawkeye and enjoy it, but last week I went to ride it and it took about an hour to get it to start. I never let it set for more than 2-3 days with out riding it. I have changed the spark plug and drained the fuel, still starts hard and won't idle, Haven't changed any adjustments. what could be wrong

 

Is it cold outside now and not before?.........You may need to Choke it (enricher) to let it warm up..................Caper.............

 

to get it to start I have to hold out on the choke and give it gas for it to start, and still won't idle even with it warmed up.

 

The ETC is out of adjustment, mine did the same.

 

Electronic Throttle control........Just in case he don't know what that means!!!.....Caper........

 

Thats what it was thanks. Now I have a bigger problem in my driveway I put it into reverse and snapped the rear shaft.

 

Yikes!

 

How do you adjust the ETC?

Thanks

 

Take the cover off the throttle box and adjust the cable in or out as necessary.
Basically trial and error till it idles.
