Video

So I had a chance to fire it up cold this morning and just as I dreaded (but expected) it ran horrible. I shot a quick video which shows the initial start up.

I had the choke open and still had to gently give it a tiny bit of throttle so it wouldn't stall, but not too much or it would bog out. Towards the end of the video you can see I close the choke and it doesn't help, in fact it stalls.

After the video, I kept helping it along with the choke open and once it reached almost normal operating temperature it idled and ran just fine.

Other than the idle speed adjustment, I haven't touched the carbs since their servicing.

Barring someone pointing out a smoking gun, I'll do a carb sync next week. If that doesn't fully resolve the issue I plan to slap on the fairings and list it over the Christmas break.

Here's a link to the video so you can see her in all her shi**y splendor:
