    Im looking to trade a guy speakers for a CT70. He just had it tuned, new air filter, battery and some new wiring. And I quote "Runs good once warm, but doesn't like to be cold." Basic minibikes im okay with, but Honda and geared minis I'm not. I have no idea what to think this problem would be...

    Cold Weather Starting?

    At what temps does your little mini call it quits? All the way to 7 degrees i took my CT200U with its china motor. I was very impressed with the little critter, in warm weather it starts with 3 pulls, at 7 degrees (cold as it got here) it took 7. Once it cranked it didn't quit though...

    Predator 212cc cold start

    How do they start @ 20-25F? My experience with Kohler 6.5 HP is not very good. It takes many retries with electric starter. Pull start can produce only single ignition on each pull. But at 40F it starts on first pull. Is it going to be the same with Predator? If so I guess I'll need electric...

    Cold natured tecumseh

    I have a OHH60 6hp Tecumseh enduro. It was a barn find and carb was in rough shape. After complete rebuild this engine runs great, it will start fairly easy but it takes 4 or 5 minutes of idle time before you can throttle it up. If I adjust the idle up when I first crank it it will take fuel...
