Suzuki GZ250 Marauder:
very difficult to start in Cold weather -- anything around under 8
degrees C,
what exactly do carb Heaters do? and would they go any way toward
solving this problem?
also is there such a thing as an Air Intake heater? and could this
be a factor to consider - if the air was warm on the intake during
starting~ wonder if this could solve it - I'll test this out - ha~ but
if it does.. how the heck could I set up some kinda air heater at the
intake!? and with a switch on handle-bar.
Otherwise it's running good! Just cold cold starting is difficult,
often taking 5 or 6 attempts! each attempt consisting of several
engine turnovers, with a decent pause between.
Sometimes feel the engine "starting to turn over" but not really
firing up - and soon as you release the starter it stops. Eventually
starting - but!!!@#$!!!! annoyingly difficult.

They stop carb icing, which isn't really a problem at 8C. Though in
damp weather it can affect bikes in temperatures slightly above
freezing.

Don't bother. The answer's still no.

Try a new plug and a service.

Bullshit. A KLR650 has *never* had a choke.

I've never seen anything that he has posted that is worth reading.

I perform a public service to newbies by explaining how to fix carburetor and
electical problems. Unfortunately, the trolls have nothing to do but snipe at
good information and confuse the newbies with a lot of trolling retorts.

Warning people about Armenians is a public service. Los Angeles has just been
identified as having the worst traffic in the USA, and the traffic around
Little Armenia is the worst in L.A.
