Hi everyone, I have a quick questions regarding a 78 XS400. When cold the bike takes multiple hard kicks with the choke fully out to get it started. When fully warmed up the bike is easy to kick over, but whenever it is cold it truly takes an effort to get it going. I cleaned the carbs, changed the oil and got a new battery. I didn't mess with the idle air mixture screws and they still have the plastic caps on them. I haven't synced the carbs yet, but I plan to this weekend. Any advice on what could be causing the bike to be such a burden to kick over when cold?
Also, is there any way to reach the sync screw with the bike idling?
Thanks
