Suzuki 225DT hard start

[butterone]

Have a pair of 03 Suzuki 225DT and today noticed that the port engine was hard to start. Even after running a short time I would have to push the key to choke before it would start. Ran fine at all RPM's. Where would be a good place to start looking?

Well it sounds to me that your motors need a bit of a service ..... carbs rebuilt, impellar change gear oil, filters etc. ......

Sounds like carbs to me, clean with ether all jets high pressure air to get out the winter / storage gunk due to residual fuel in the carbs.
