Cold starting problem

(1/2) > >>

paul G:
Hi,
Any help please.
CB550 K3 won't start when cold even with choke. If I give it a quick squirt with easy start it fires up so obviously fuel issue.
With the choke out it tries to fire up but will not run, if I open the throttle at all it just dies.
Runs fine once it has fired up, any ideas before I start pulling the carbs apart and re checking everything over.
I was sure the float levels were ok but could be wrong.
Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Paul a wing nut has nothing to do with your bike not starting. Go on strip those carbs down, it's the only way to be sure.

paul G:
Ah it could be the missing wing nut will have to double my efforts to find them.
