My son and I recently fixed up this bike and it runs great, but has trouble starting. The fuel system looks clean and choke circuit is not clogged, but it isn't getting fuel when choked. If you put a little fuel in one of the cylinders it starts right up and runs fine. Any suggestions?

Has the bike been standing for anytime if so it could be the choke jet in the floatbowls could be blocked with varnish from old fuel. Also when starting from cold use full choke with No throttle. Tony.

Everything has been cleaned and cleaned again and circuit is open.

I've had loads of peeps say that and when they clean them with ultrasound all the crap gets dislodged from the carbs.

If the starter system is def clear, then all that's left to look at is the rubber seals at the end of the choke shaft.
