Just fitted a VM34mm single Mikuni to my 850 that started first kick on the old knackered Amals but it won't start.
It's freezing cold over here in the UK so I warmed the sump/engine (as it's wet sumped) to help it a bit. It's nearly firing but won't quite go. Do these normally need the choke on (which is in the down position?). It seems to kick over a lot easier with the lever up (choke off). Why is this as there is no butterlfy choke in a Mikuni?
Going to try some fresh fuel today .
What's the best starting procedure for cold weather?
Thanks.
