XTZ 660 Tenere '94 cold start problem
Hello!
I have a problem w/ my newly acquired motorcycle. It just refuses to start when cold. The mechanic changed the air filter and adjusted valve clearances.
The thing is, that it starts w/no problem if it was previously running at least 10 secs. It'll start with the touch of the start button until it gets cold. When cold it just doesn't start. I tried different tecnics to start it w/full choke, w/half choke, wo choke, w/throttle, wo throttle... Nothing seems to work but removing the spark plug, dry or heat it (it is soaked w/ gasoline), few turns wo spark plug to clear the cylinder and reinstal the plug and voila.... (if I do not drain the battery earlier).
Someone suggested checking the ignition coil for cracks. He said he had identical problem on his bmw '85. After changing the coil, the problem was gone. I removed the coil but there are no visible damages there. Could this be the problem?
Otherwise the motor runs great. The consumption is normal with 5,5l /100km I presume...
