You need to study or research info on tune-ups Basically it is a sales pitch, as only spark plugs are left & tune-ups stopped 25 years ago from a technical perspective Your not actually tuning anything You replacing old spark plugs,gas & air filter etc,that has been called preventative maintenance for over 20 years For the last 30 years the vehicles Computer does all the engine tuning
Need year/make/model/mileage of vehicle to provide a more specific set of troubleshooting steps.
When was the last tune up? Hard starts when cold are usually caused by fouled spark plugs, worn plug wires, or weak ignition coils. Fuel systems are not as effected by temperature changes as the ignition components.
This is fuel starvation ( it is running too lean ) if it has been stood from last year with the same fuel in , the fuel may have gone stale and bloced the jet in the carb, keep priming and starting this may eventualy clear the carb, if not the carb will have to come off and clean through, ley us know if you need help servicing the carb.
I'm sure there is a choke on the dash of the tractor. I believe there should be 2 knobs. One for choke and one for pto. If not check on your throttle lever it could be all the way up on it.
Did you clean the air filter ?. The bike will miss like hell if it is starved for oxygen. The Air filter is normally a sealed box with a curved air intake and a rubber hose connected to the carburetor. Open the box and clean the sponge filter with petrol and squeeze it dry before reassembling. If you have access to 2T engine oil dip the sponge in it and squeeze dry before reassembling.Back firing does not indicate starving for fuel .
Have you check the air box (air filter element)?
How's the spark plugs are they good?
Did you upset any of the jets/needles in the carb when cleaning out?
Good?
You have to just tune up your air fuel combution chamber with a proper setting as this happens when this setting has been changed. Just go to a proper service center and do a service of your bike and ask them to check setting of it. According to me the optimized ratio to air is to fuel (AIR:FUEL) should be (9:1) for better performance of bike. But it is better to ask service center technician as it veries according to surround environment, fuel inatake by vehical, etc.....
