    i'm going to be working on the inlaws bike this week. the bike runs great, the enrichment circuit raises the idle speed, and it has a new battery. here's the thing. if the engine is cold, you have one or two chances of starting it. if you miss the opportunity, the bike floods. if it's even a little warm, it will start every time, no sweat. and once it fires, the enrichment circuit keeps it idling around 2k to 2.5krpm. about the same as my 750. it has standard bp7es plugs, but i'm thinking of trying some platinum or irridium plugs. if that doesn't do the trick, i'm thinking coils, as he has stock right now. any other suggestions on what could be causing this to happen? thanks!
