Really hard to start......

[MikeMetzger]

2014 Pro, High Comp Head and Can. Last year it would start on the second pull consistently, this year, it take a few minutes of pulling to get her started, however once started runs/idles fine.... Anyone know where the best place is to start??

Does it have a fuel pressure regulator? Sounds like a fuel bleed back

 

[omernikski]

From the microfiche it looks like the regulator is part of the rail

Is it doing it everytime you start it are only the first start of the day? Have you tried giving it a little throttle why starting it?

Capacitors might be going bad and not charging up quickly like they should. Eric

Starts a little easier when warm, but still a pain

How's your reeds?

What I would do first is squirt a little starting fluid in the intake and see if it tries to fire up in the first couple of pulls, if it does you know fuel is the problem.

Mine does same but not all of the time. I found that a little throttle applied while pulling on the cord seemed to remedy the hard start issue for me.
