Sounds like the carbs are flooding into the cylinders. Check your floats to
see if they are stuck. I never use the chokes at all when starting.

Subject: Please help me sort out my hard starting problems
| On my Eldo, when I walk out first thing in the morning, my bike starts |
| up without using the choke. After it runs for a bit, if for some reason |
| dies or I shut it down, it is very hard to start right after that. It doesn't even have to run 3 minutes, and doesn't seem to matter how long it runs. Also, when this happens, if I do choke the bike, it sounds as if it is turning over more slowly...ditto for if I use no choke and just twist |
| throttle. Finally, I seem to hear a sound around my carbs at times, that sounds like a gurgle. This bike has new cylinders and pistons, new valve job, etc. I am hesitant to ride very far, in the event that it won't |
| and I will run down my battery trying. Could I have the carbs set up way |
| rich and be flooding the machine while trying to re-start? IDEAS? |
