Cold Start

[Alkire193]

Many XC events require the rider to cold start the atv for the holeshot. I mean you can try to warm it up as other classes launch but when it's your turn it's engine off till the flag drops.

I'm wondering. How can I get my 700 to start in one stroke?

I've done a few of these starts, and its not fun. All you can do is make sure your tune is SPOT ON! and when you turn you quad off use the key, and not the switch. When ever I use the switch it takes 3-4 revolutions longer than it should. I've been told the fuel pump still runs a little and floods it out a little.

I see. That's a good point. My YouTube account has that happenig to me at Titan.

When a pro one at Loretta Lynns he said he put in a new battery and charged it all night. Would that also be helpful?

one thing that i noticed is to make sure your TPS is bang on too... if your TPS is out of whack a little bit it will take a few extra cranks to fire up.

ok, I've heard that also. That's a good point Blair.

I'm tryig to avoid the "pray" aspect. It's always too unpredictable.

What about a manual decomp or stronger spark?

[Krandall]

I don't know if decomp is necessary only because, it should crank over fairly free already. I think a stronger spark is a good option though. Have you replaced your stock spark plug wire?

[Alkire193]

Well id like to but the issue is that someone suggested I re-wire my SPAL fan with a relay, and now the thing doesnt even turn on. SO I dont want to mess with my spark plug wire unless im absolutely sure that it will work and be reliable.

[Krandall]

It's just replacing the wire from the coil to the plug. You can't mess anything up

just buy like 12" of fancy wire and put it in place of the current. I think it was kenny that said.. In the stock wire theres some sort of resistor so it doesn't allow full spark.

On Modded I think it was DL700 and he is the one that told me to rewire my SPAL fan to get rid of the "surging" that occurs from it drawing too many amps. This spark plug wire is probably something I can speak to the Joker about as he rebuilds my bike......ive said to much already

joker is rebuilding your bike    If its not a turbo, may i ask why?

[Krandall]

let us in on your little secret!!

[Alkire193]

Im in FOB Shank, Afghanistan. Its kind of hard to rebuild a Raptor thats 7000 miles away. So Kevin at Joker's Vault is going to hit up my winter rebuild.

And Krandall, nope. Come to the Rally next year and see for yourself!

Does your iphone 3gs work over there?
