possibly time for a new top end?

[misfitsbob]

my bike has been having trouble starting the first time of the day...if i keep it warmed up then its fine but if it cools off then its really hard to start. im almost positive that i need some new rings...after i get it running it runs great.

anything else it may be?

Not enough info. How much time on the top end? Air filter clean? Carb clean? Has it been a progressive change or all of a sudden? New or old plug?

honestly im not sure the time on the top end...the filter could be clogged and it may be a bad plug ill check in the morning....the carb should be fine, im really hoping its not the top end...i cant afford to do it right now...im trying to hold off until christmas...ive got so much stuff that needs done right now lol

Let us know what you find.

It almost sounds to me like the lowspeed jet is plugging up a bit and making it hard to start cold. If your throttle is hanging open slightly it can make that happen too. Old plugs will do it. It always suprises me when people come online and ask for advice before checking the maintenance items. Times change and it is easier to ask now. Don't be me wrong, I like helping as do the guys here like Ernie that have been around the block or country for that matter.

i would have checked it over today but it was getting dark when i got home...and theres too much stuff in my building to work on it in there right now.

weird thing...i went out kicked it 1 time and it started...im thinking it may just be from riding in the back of the truck and bouncing around the bowl may be draining out of the over flow or something from it...cause i can get it out of my building after it sits for a while and it starts first kick but if i take it to ride in the back of my truck then its really hard to start...idk.
