my bike was running fine, past couple of rides, i noticed it getting harder to start when cold. i always use choke, pump throttle couple of times, and 1 or 2 turnovers and she's alive! this last weekend, quite suddenly she didn,t want to start when cold. 1st day in the morn had trouble getting started, but it finally did after about 3-4 minutes of cranking on it. once it was hot not any trouble starting.
the next morning, again cranking for 10-15 minutes i finally got it started { thought my starter was going to burn up} and once again when hot no problems.
now i cannot get it to start at all.
i have checked the following.
1. spark plug, getting a spark.
2. caburetor for trash
i don't know what my next step should be?
check valves for clearance, or compression test, or other.
any GOOD advise will be helpful.
