Three starts before it runs

[600]

When my Attak is cold, I have to start it 3 times before it keeps running. Is this common?

Sometimes when we are up north and its minus 30 ' celcius , might took 3 cranks to get it too fire up. normally takes 1 crank on a cold sled (depends what cold is ). still think that the inline block heater may be the next thing! other then that i guess depends on the temp.

Depending on the miles and the quality of gas, you might have some issues there. Mine was doing the same thing when the weather was still warm, and I had to change plugs.

if its really cold out my attak takes a few starts.

1,750 miles and it has always started and kept running on the first crank no matter what temp. outside.

A couple of times this year when it was -20f mine would fire a couple of times before staying running on the third crank

Not sure if all of you guys understood me. When I turn the key, it fires up right away, but then it dies right away. Does that once more and then on the third try, it stays running. This isn't even in very cold temps. I just meant when the motor is cold (first start of the day). It only has 30km on it. Did it right from day 1.
Thanks

Turn the key to on and wait til you hear the fuel pump stop. Then turn the key the rest of the way to start engine.

I do wait for the fuel pump to stop and then start it. This morning it was -20 celcius and it took 4 starts before it continued running.
