Starting problems

[Saintsman27]

Not that I am a true expert on these matters from my meager experience
Sounds like fuel problems... Petcom rubber pipe vacuum lines and diaphragms a carb
Problem ...there's enough she...ITE petrol out there to cause anyone ferkin probs....
Drain and try fresh quality petrol...avoid supermarket juice I am an Esso bod
Good luck

Thanks all.
I'll try all these starting ideas over this coming week as I'm still off work.
Hopefully one will work, if not I'll drain tank, take it off and search for any problems there.
Cheers

I turn mine over a couple of times then leave it for a few seconds while i zip up my jacket and put my helmet on.Then give it full choke and it starts straight away,then push choke in half way,then put gloves on,ride a few yards then push choke right in.

I thought I'd give it a go today, tried starting but same as usual, loads of tries before it would fire up.
I took the tank off and just enough pipe length to put it where the seat was.
Airbox off ans check for any broken/split pipes etc.
Couldn't see anything that looked wrong so put everything back.

Would you believe the 4 times I've started it since, it fires up 1st turn of the starter... Amazing.
I'm guessing something wasn't quite seated right previously and me removing/replacing it has reseated it.
Oh well however I did it it's now all good.
Thanks all for your input
