New 120 hard to start

[Dahitman44]

I bought the boys a 120 Cat for Christmas and boy do they love it. They have gone through almost three tanks of gas already. Those don;lt hold much but they are on them a lot.

It is a four stroke and does not want to start very easily. It takes many many pulls on choke -- like 20ish and then it geets close so i give it a little gas and it starts.

What is the deal?

Should it be that tough to start?

Thanks

I don't know about 20 pulls, but they are cold blooded since they are little four strokes. I bought a 2002 for the girls and it takes a few pulls on full choke but don't touch the gas at all before it starts. Then let it warm up some before you mess with the throttle then it'll go fine.

Make sure you run de-icer as well. It doesn't take much to ice up those tiny little needles and such. I also agree about not touching the throttle til it has warmed up some.
