In the morning when I go to start my 81 cx500c up she takes about a minute to get going. Just keeps turning over and over with the occasional sputter here and there.

I think it is just that the carbs need to be cleaned and that idol needs to be set properly but I always like a second opinion.

Thanks,

PS working on pictures now.

The choke adjuster is between the carbs, just follow the cable.

Also, check battery condition. These babies need a GOOD cranking amperage to help the ignition pick ups/coils etc. Try starting it cold, with a jump start from a car, if it starts straight away, get a new battery.

Mine always needs FULL choke, but, starts straight away.

Good luck.

i agree with bear.

youl have a high of 27c in your neck of the woods,if your carbs are clean and your battery is good....you shouldnt need choke.

bear is in the middle of winter
