brian r Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 After the first few kicks pull the plug out to see if it's wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 The CRF Hondas have a habit of the valves grinding themselves back into the head inserts thereby closing the valve clearances. This can make them hard to start, especially when warm. Worth checking the clearances to see if this is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
