Poor starting

Hi My Strada starts first kick when cold, but when the engine is hot and you stop and try and start it again quickly (i.e when filling up) it won't go unless you turn the tickover screws in half a turn. if you stop and leave it 15mins it's fine.

Tyres for 82 Strada

Hi I use my strada most days for a short commute into Manchester. It was usually a first kick starter hot or cold and would start on the button when hot. The ignition pick up packed up in the Autum and I had a twin pick up unit fitted at NLM. The bike now takes two or three rapid & full blooded ...
