I have played with the rich and lean screw and run two tanks of fuel with a hole bottle of cleaner in each tank. plug fine and new. could there be something stoped up????????
runs perfect after about 3 to 5 m of warming up or hot.

 

well

 

well

 

Is air cleaner clean?
what about valve adjustment? When was your last one?

 

about 20 hours had fulll service been doing it about a year just getting sick of it. I have checked every thing accept the in side of the carberator.

 

How are you using your choke? Are you turning it off too soon maybe? My brother in laws Grizz is like that. His dealer just told him they are finicky for starting in cold weather. Thing is we have taken his on camping trips at -20 and it fired right up the whole trip.
I have seen him struggle to keep it going at 40 degrees though. He has gotten used to it and he just just lets it warm up wih the choke left on for a few minutes.

 

Could it be the idle speed is too low? Sounds like its lean, because itll idle when warm. The mixture screw needs to be adjusted , and posibly you need a bigger pilot jet. Have you done any mods to the motor? Air box lid, is it on and tight? Exhaust system mods?

 

every thing is stock and i have checked evereything 10 times just hoping someone will bring up something i have over looked. thanks for all the help my dealer said thats the way it is but thats just BS he just dont know ether and just wont say it .. I have several friends and theirs dont do it.

 

My 04 is a real pain when cold. I have to choke it when it is colder than 10 degrees celcius and hav e to let it idle for a couple of minutes. After that though it runs fine.

 

The problem most likely is that you tried to adjust the carb. You may want to have it adjusted by a professional, as it would not be that expensive. Plus if the carb is clogged or has water in the fuel bowl then they will fix it. Could be a problem with the enricher. In any event, this step would eliminate the carb as a problem.

Also you may be using too much fuel cleaner in your quest to clean out the carb. If you read the directions on the prouduct it will guide you as to how much fuel a can will treat. On some fuel system cleaners if too much prouduct is used it can cause a problem bigger than the one you have.
