I got my car Oct 18 and have experience twice now that when I tried starting my engine it wouldn't for the first crank then 2nd try it works.
Most of the time I have to hold it cranked for a good 2 seconds for it to start.

Does anybody know if I have a problem?

I've noticed it sometimes starts slow... gotta let it crank a bit... I think it only happens if you go straight through the RUN posistion to START. I think the fuel pump doesn't run long enough to get pressure (had this problem on previous cars)... Key is to just go to run for a second or two, then start... this seems to work every time for me...

hey Crazi!! great to see you back man :D :D :D

as for that, yeah, who was it... was having the same trouble... seemed to work for them... Wing?? can't remember... but yeah, this has been addressed in the past, this seems a good solution.

i'll leave the thread open for you to post your result KTM.

it's being called initializing and there is a thread on it around here that started just a day or two ago. i do it everytime and have not had a problem.

Thanks to all... no more problems!
