I wonder if some one can point me in the right direction. My SH starts easily from cold using the choke on the 1st stop (BS34) and throttle fully closed, even at 0 Celsius. Usually only takes 2 or 3 kicks maximum. The bike pulls well through all gears without any missing or splutter and no backfire when going down hill with throttle closed.
When the engine is heated up after riding for say 30 minutes or more I find it reluctant to start either by kicking or using the electric starter unless I open the throttle slightly. I have checked the plugs and they look good without being too rich or lean - light grey in colour.
Once the engine is restarted it then runs without fault. The issue is restarting when engine is hot.
Thank you for any thoughts you share.
