either check ur valves or gt a higher pilot jet in the carb, try a 42-45, and it will start u easy.

u think that it could b runing lean? i just put the carb back on today after i changed the clip on the jet neddle. but its been hard to start before i did that. but now it wont even start for like a second like it did before. i know alot about the motor and everyhting else EXCEPT CARBS!!! so just let me know what u think it could be.

if you didnt rejet, ur lean, id get a 45 pilot, 1 notch richer on the needle, and wateva cobra recomends for the main, go out and by a k@n powerkit, it coes wit a few diff jets, the pilot will diffinitly help wit the cold starting, since addin a pipe leans it.

it was the spark plug. i went and baught a new one and put it in and she started in about 1/2 a kick no choke or anything. shes runing great now. i had to go and test her around my block once and i ended up getting chased by the cops. and as usual she outran em. so thinks for your help.
