motovert 160r start up

[mudskipper]

Just to get an idea from others..
I find to kick it over i need at least half throttle. Is that saying im not getting enough fuel
in the mix to fire it up? Im not a fan of needing any throttle to get my bike running. Would a slight turn outwards of the main jet to create a larger gap between it and the "needle jet" work in my favour?
would this have the same effect as a shim around the needle?

I dont find adjusting the idle screw to have a great effect on initial start up.


Or do i just live with it...
