Trouble starting cold
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2016 6:50 pm
Difficulty starting my 912 when cold. This just started happening, I sent my carbs off to lockwood for the 5 year service. They came back and I installed them today. I still had problems starting, eventually got it going, sync'd the carbs and set the idle. Things looked good and started no problem when it as warm.
Let it sit for 4 hours and tried it again (no Joy). The Video was taken from on my iPhone.

I did check the choke is working, still no good. It seams like the starter disengages after the hint of it wanting to start. I have been reading about the Sprag clutch and wonder if that is my problem.
Any help would be appreciated in trouble shooting the problem.
