Is this normal on the xs. (starting question)

[Fro-]

I have to crack the throttle some to get engine to start ( Even when hot) if not it will just spin over. Once started it idles fine. Sometimes I twist it alittle to much and it fires off and revs up. I don't like doing this to a cold engine if you know what I mean.
Is there a easy adjustment to cure this or do I have to start from scratch. Thank You

That's how mine works.
I think ya need some air in there with the gas and spark. Heck, when I start mine with the choke on it always revs a bit.

I blip the throttle a time or two after it catches to help it keep going. A flat wrist can keep you from revving higher than you mean to.

When I kick it, I always crack the throttle a TINY bit, and grab a handful of front brake as to not move. Doesn't rev it to the air, just enough to get her going. My choke doesn't have a cable; and kicking while trying to hold onto the carbs is impossible.

Sometimes when my engine is has cooled off, it doesn't sound like it wants to start at all, not even puttering like the battery is dead, then suddenly it will fire to life. Does that happen to anyone?
