Subject: A starting hint


After one week parking specially when the weather is cold it is
impossible to start with an old battery. After couple of tryings the battery
is dead with no signs from the motor to start. 

Early last spring I used some weekends testing different choke
manoeuvres that all failed more or less. Then I found out that it is good
to drain the old petrol from the carburettor first. There is a drain screw on
the left side of carb chamber. After this releasing operation my XRV 750
-91 usually starts after 2-3 tryings (with full choke).

P.S. Still there remains a question how to use the throttle when starting.
This secret will be decided maybe next April when we see the sun again
in Finland 8-)
