Hard to start

[FoxiKleo]

02 srx 700,
cleaned carbs, new plugs set up enrichers and still pull my guts out when the engine is cold. Replaced stator so I'm sure it's not electrical, just doesn't want to pick up the fuel, and fuel pump seems to be working fine. Open to suggestions thanks

pour some gas in a cylinder and see if it barks off. had some sleds that needed to have this done a few times for them to prime up after sitting for extended periods.

Put a primer on it. My buddy had a 1997 700 SX, he had trouble starting after a couple weeks. If it sat for 2 weeks he'd pour a little gas in the cylinders, before he even pulled it. My old Vmax 600 twin would fire right up.

Add a little oil with that gas in an old spray bottle, check out conditions of fuel lines...
