trouble starting
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...

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.
