GP1200 -Manual prime is the only way it will start
Hello,
My '98 GP1200W choke functions properly but has no effect when starting. I can never seem to start the engine unless I manually "prime" the carburetor. I leave the plastic screw on air filter cover loose, I have to pull the seat back, keep a squirt bottle with gas in it, squirt into the hole over the center carb, then start. After a few attempts it will stay running and once warmed up starts fine.
As mentioned the choke functions properly (cable works, choke flaps close etc.) but just doesn't help start motor. Any ides of what to check?
Thanks.
