Greetings wingnuts -
Maxine has begun doing something I've never seen with her before. The battery is fully charged (new), the charging system is working fine, I have no additional lights or accessories installed - but: When I go to start her the first time - when she's 'cold' she isn't firing. To the point I have to use a shot of starting fluid. Once she fires, she will start just fine from there. I'm puzzled. I do shut the petcock to 'off' when I go to shut her down, and I don't run the gas out of the carbs, I just like to shut the fuel off before I shut off the bike.
Anyone seen this before? (What am I saying y'all have seen all of it between you) - I was thinking maybe it was coils or plugs - but she starts totally fine once she's started once.
Thanks all. Happy Tuesday.
