xt600e cold start
something has changed on my xt that ive owned for 6 years recently, its a 4pt model and has done 44000 miles, its to do with cold start, its quite puzzling, normal procedure is when cold no throttle full choke and it starts up fairly quickly, 2 or 3 turns of the starter, then half choke to no choke within a couple of minutes, what its doing now is still starting readily but on half choke only then off within a couple of minutes, runs fine and hot start is as normal, the battery is one year old yuasa, the only thing ive done to it was to change the fuse box/solenoid combination jobby which good used ones are easily available off fazer 600's etc, there was a little crap and corrosion in places as expected on the old one, so all ive done is excluded any of that as a fault, i havent touched the starter connection or main earth which is on the starter mount, i went that route to start with because the starter turns fairly slow though no real difference to normal when cold and quicker when hot, the thought was it wasent getting enough voltage etc, its like its getting too much fuel on full choke when cold and sometimes can result in a backfire, or am i barking up the wrong tree, and its this damn e10 fuel thats doing it, have to travel 10 miles to get e5, any ideas appreciated
