2008 Dragon 700 - Hard starting

[mavverick]

Whenever I try to start sled from a cold start. It takes more than 10 pulls to start, when it finally fires it stalls and on the next pull idles fine. Checked compression and its 120/121 a side. Anyone experience this?

Many questions....... How Cold is it when you are trying to start it, how often do you start it, how fresh is the gas?

Well today it was 2 Celsius. Fresh fuel in tank. Sat for about a week. Once it starts it easily starts on one or 2 pulls
i have 2 07 dragon 700 as well and they both start cold in under 4/5 pulls.

With key and kill switch off pull 4-5 times,then turn on and pull.If it starts first-second pull,I would say a weak capacitor,if not then change the fuel filter.
