Difficult starting
Over the weekend the Kanguro didn't like to start from either hot or cold. I increased the idle speed a little using the throttle stop screws as it had a habit of fading at stops but that didn't help the starting. Yesterday evening I looked at the carb balance again and increased the richness on the front cylinder with the idle pilot screw. OF course, the balance needed to be reset again.
This evening I went out and it started second kick from cold using a single enricher and quickly settled into an idle. Perhaps that was the issue? By the way, I checked the ignition stator coil resistance and it was 197 ohms which is rumoured to be sufficient.
