Hey guys, I recently transported the bike (on trailer) to a different state... my buddy thought it would be funny to leave the choke fuel enrichment circuit ON (enriching) for my trip, I noticed shortly after taking it off the trailer.
Ever since, the bike starts hard... at first I had to full throttle (no choke enrichment) to get a turnover, took 10+ sparks to finally kick... but once it started it would restart a bit easier, but not back to normal.
So I've been doing it this way for a few days now, but this morning was really cold (about 30 degrees) and it wouldn't start with a full throttle... so I tried NO throttle (and no choke enrichment)... that worked, almost instantly... but it was a really weak idle at first, sounded poor, had to nurse it closely.
Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what to fix here... are the spark plugs fouled? Would the gas in this new city (Austin, TX) make any difference?
I'm in a hotel atm, so tearing the bike apart in the parking lot isn't the best situation... it's do-able, but I'd like to have a plan of attack... any suggestions?
