Another Norge cold start issue
« on: September 12, 2015, 08:13:40 AM »
Hey everyone! I have a 2012 Norge that requires two or three stabs at the starter to start when cold. If I hold the starter on the first try it just turns over. Second try it will burble its way to a start.
Today it's been a week since I started it and took three tries.
After a start, it will fire up perfect.
I've checked valve clearance.
Balances TBs. Air screws closed on both and balanced perfect at 3-4000rpm on Morgan Carbtunes.
Reset tips
New battery
New factory air filter
Didn't put too much oil when I changed it
Engine temp sensor reads fine on GuzziDiag
I bought the bike 5 months ago with 19,000 miles. I've put 3000 on it, so I don't really know how it was before...maybe a Guzzi thing?
Wondering if it's stepper motor not opening properly on initial startup...strange for it to fire up perfect after its ran for a 1-2 seconds.

I have 20,000 miles on mine & it does the same thing. It seems to help if you give it a tiny amount of throttle.

Mine too.  I just crack the throttle ever so slightly and nurse it along for 60 secs and all is OK. 
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
