My 325 has become increasingly hard to start when it's been sitting for a long time (ie overnight). It just doesn;t want to know. But... if you give it a little throttle, it starts fine, btu you need to "blip" it maybe 3 times, then it runs fine on idle.
I'm wondering if the AFM is stickig a little shut when cold. I don't think it's a sensor etc issue - like I say, 2-3 good blips and the problem vanishes.
Did somebody once say somethgin about spraying carb cleaner into it or somethign? Does this make sense? Is it the sort of thing you can buy in Halfraud's?
Thanks

You can give it a clean out with some carb cleaner (don't get it from Halfrauds it's about Ԛ£8 a can, go to your local family value/pound shop) I've also used a metal polish to clean the insides up, just be careful with the temp sensor inside.
