I've had a few quadracers over the years and have never had this problem before, just wondering if any of you have. Right now I have an 88 quadracer and if it sits for more than 3 weeks without being started I have to put the space heater on it a while to get it warmed up then it'll fire on the 5th or 6th kick. If not I have to drag it a little ways with another bike and bump start it.

 

Try richening it up a bit. I know mine is a bear to start if the jetting is off.

 

I'll try that, thanks! The plug is burning really good, so I'm hoping the jetting is fine.

 

Check to make sure your petcock is actually stopping the fuel from flowing.... it could be leaking a little bit allowing that gas to make it to the motor over time and flood it..

 

low compression motors don't like to start very easily.... also, is your choke working properly? Without additional fuel, cold starts are difficult also.
