    Calling all techo ausmotions,
    Having a shit of a time with Husaberg 400, lots of trouble hot starting.
    Starts easily sometimes, sometimes with choke, sometimes without,
    Starts fine cold,
    Valves are corect clearance
    Timing spot on
    goes very well when riding
    checked eletrics, all within specs
    will fire a couple of strokes and and then dead as a dodo next kick(s)
    My thoughts are :
    idle jet (48) is to rich/big, maybe back to leaner,(I figure it might be
    overfueling when starting)
    wrong type of plug (dcpr8e) change to exotic metal plug,or a different
    range ie 7 or 9.

    help / ideas appreciated:
    thanks in advance

    Thanks for help,
    I have had a weekend of hard starting and finally stopping in the middle
    of no where, popular opinion says Stator coil.

    Another $400, expensive hobby these euro bikes, the KLX is not in the
    same league ,but, it goes evry time.

    Thanks again
    Mick
