400ex taking long to start

[Wr3sTl3b0y]

hey i recently had pretty much got a whole rebuilt motor valves timing chain piston and rings all new gaskets brand new starter rebuilt carburator

i finally got it running again but the first start takes about a minute sometimes i still have to pop it over until it warms up then it fires right up

is it possible i need a bigger jet or smaller jet or need to adjust the air screw

i had a honda shop do all the work but they didnt adjust the carb for some reason

Sometimes even a low battery could be the cause. Maybe check out the small and easy thigns first, then work your way up.

This....^^^^^....bumping up to a 42 pilot will also help, the air mixture screw at stock setting should be good to go.

ill check the battery and stuff maybe change the pilot im just trying to sell it here soon and i want to get it so it starts right up sooner then 45 seconds
