Hi guys,

Hope someone can perhaps shed some light on this issue I'm experiencing...

My GSA struggles to start when it's cold. It's getting worse. This morning I had to crank the started about 5 seconds then she starts. When I touch the throttle she dies, then push the starter again for a couple of seconds, she starts, then when you touch the throttle she dies.

So now, when I get her started. Sometimes takes 3 to 5 times. I just leave the throttle for a while, the she goes as advertised. Only appears to happen when the engine is cold.

Any idea what this could be? She is now close to 100k km so she has done some mileage.


Thanks.
