Default Help with cold starting a 97 lt160

Hello Everyone, let me first start off by saying how much everyone has helped me with my quadzilla just by reading others posts. I really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. This is my first time posting and now I have another problem with my lt160, it will just not want to start cold. I have cleaned the carb twice, I have changed the plug. I have tried playing with the choke and no difference. I'm beating up the starter too much when I want to start it cold. After I warm it up it starts great and Idles great, but its just that cold start It has a problem with. I'm leaning towards valve clearance adjustments, but I dont know what the gap needs to be. If anyone could look in their manuals that would really help me alot. Please feel free to throw ideas at me, cause I'm exhausted with mine.


Thanks again,

QuadzillaHO
