Default Hard Start

Anyone have an idea to start my suzuki LT 230s easier? Very hard to kick, but once started runs and drives good. Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
Maybe a valve adjustment? Maybe they are out of spec.

Default fine tuning

have you adjusted the valve lash? it could be your low speed setting on your carb or maybe both. As for the difficult kickstart problem there isn't really much you can do about that. Maybe try a new spark plug as well. If you go to the lt 230 vault it tells you how to do all the fine tuning stuff you need to know.

"have you adjusted the valve lash?"
If the valves are out of spec, so is the compression release thus hard to kick.
That's what I was thinking.
