Default No cold start

I have a 94 f2 with some starting issues. I bought a new battery for it last season and it worked fine. The first 2 weeks of this season it worked fine. Now when I go to start it in the morning it wont. I have to jump it to get her going in the morning but after it's warmed up it starts fine. I cleaned out the carbs and replaced the plugs because they needed it anyway and was hoping that would solve the problem and it didn't.

Bottom line, it wont start while it's cold, but is totally fine when it's warm. Any help would be awesome.

Run a battery tender on it when your not riding it, can get one from wal-mart for about $20. Although this may not be the best tender in the world it DOES work very well. It will charge the battery while you aren't riding and when its fully charged will shut off and come back on if the charge starts to dissipate.

yeap. ^


I know you bought a battery but it's just a battery problem bro (okay, MOST likely). Trickle charge that hoe.

If it still won't start with choke on and fully charged (green light on tender), then come back and report.

The reason it starts totally fine when warm is because the battery is juiced from being charged at RPMs higher than idle. That is one reasoning for this situation.

good luck bruh
