Is the bike still stock or have you done any changes recently (removed the snorkels, rejetted, different exhaust, etc)? You didn't state whether you were running with the enrichener on or off.

By enrichener I assume you are talking about the choke. I should have pulled it out and I bet that would have helped, but quite honestly I was surprised it was struggling to accelerate after only setting for 25 or so minutes. It was a cold high 40's, cloudy and a bunch of wind....for an old man anyway.

I'm guessing you might be running a little lean and the cold weather is reminding you of it. Check to see if your intake rubbers are a bit loose of the vacuum caps are degrading.



I think you are right on running lean. I say that cause when I give it gas it acts as if it is starving, predominantly in cold weather....actually very predominant.

AI removed, Bub pipes, all else stock. I removed the AI when I bought it in 05, the pipes were already installed. I have had the nipples rupture so I check them often. And yes, I have had the rubbers slip off, I will check them first Monday AM.

Thanks a ton folks....and I wish I would have never sold my old Bonny.....kick and ride but again, I do not remember it that hard to start in cold weather and Britain can get some damp cold winters. My BA fires a short period then stalls, repeat repeat and repeat, then goes. I'll check things out as suggested and report back Monday. Thanking all
