I had some wierd*ss symptoms similar to yours when I had leaking petcock.

1. it had difficulties starting in winter, even with full-choke. Finally started after 10-sec. or so of cranking.

2. took long time to warm up, then would die if I gave it throttle too quickly

3. strange thing here is if I reduced choke to halfway while simultaneously giving it throttle, it would rev up and let me take off.


Bizarre.. This was also petcock that would dribble gas into carbs while sitting. Before carbs refurbed by ducatiman, it actually hydrolocked my engine and snapped teeth off starter ring-gear!
