No, but it might be that it's cold because this has happened before. Or it because it needs oil. I checked it and it has 1/3 of a inch

U should put more oil in there. It would more than likely clear up that noise. I was able 2 start my quad in -20 with no choke. Does ur batt hold a good charge? Upgraded jets I find help with idling

Alright I will, and ya it idles good. But I've had a problem where it would make the starting noise, but it wasn't starting. So we took a wrench and put it from the battery to what I think looked like a starte cylinder
