    Since the last weeks.. From very quick starting to taking many seconds to fire up.
    Carbs are clean, warm start is okay.

    Valve play is okay, Choke works fine.
    Plugs recently replaced, all connectors clean and okay.
    Battery recently renewed and okay.

    Your thoughts please..

    Have you checked that the same port in the carby bowls is clear as that’s a very common problem and will stop fuel getting to your clean choke system

    I do not understand you reply clearly but the choke functions very well.
