Hello, Well I have an 04 450 thats stock but I'm having some trouble with it starting cold. It is getting fuel to the carb and the air filter is clean. I have never messed with the idle speed or changed the jets. But when you kick it to start it just acts like it backs up then finally it will backfire but never start. But you can pull it and it will start very easy. Which tells me its not electrical but I could be wrong. Can you help me out? Possibly just need to clean the Carb?

When was the last time the valves were adjusted?
