[jangol]

any ideas on the following..

my 03 is a pain to start.. its obviously been tucked away during the winter.. its been plugged into a optimiser..

any thoughts.. would it be a spark plug issue...

also to get ut started after about 5 pushes of the button, it will only start with through choke on full..



to add it sometimes backfires once it started?? is that because its cold?? what should i be looking at to prevent that..

any thoughts would be great
