This sounds like you are trying to say it turns over slowly, is this what you mean
If so I would be looking at the battery.

How long is "so long"? Mine has been getting a little harder to start as its getting into winter (just like me) but with full choke it still starts within 3-4 seconds. Then it needs a good warm up to get it going. Do you pump a little bit of accelerator as you try to kick it over? |

I'm pretty sure the choke works , it feels like the engine doesn't have enough spark or petrol to crank over ! I have try 10 times before I get a paulse , I pump the gas a aswell . Once it starts it fine . |

Check your battery, just to be sure, cold & wet weather can sometimes affect the batteries performance. My old purple clubbie was crap in the morning until I put a new battery with a higher CCA in. |

Crank it for a timed period (not guessed) and count revolutions. Post the result and somebody will soon squeal if it sounds too low. |

Is your choke cable too loose? I had a problem where there was too much extra length of the cable at the carby end, and the choke didn't do anything at all until it was about 1/4 of the way out. This means when the choke is all the way out, it isn't as rich as it's supposed to be. If you pull the choke out just a little, you should see the fast idle adjustment moving almost straight away. The jet lowering should start when the choke is about half way out. |

I would normally suggest pouring some hot water over the battery, if it then starts easier you know that is the issue. However, given the battery is in the boot..... |
