Re: "Hard" Cold Start - Noisy Fuel Pump

["C. Bybee" <cbybee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I keep the bikes in a garage also, the Triple does great, the ST is a
wailing banshee on cold start. Twin Peaks said the mixture probably needs to
be set a little richer for the starting problem, but claim the fuel pumps on
the Triple and ST are different, and that the "ST cold start buzz" is normal
per Triumph. Hmmm...
