But wouldn't it need to be consistent? I mean, if it was a coil (in this case either of the 2 or both), weather shouldn't matter, the bike wouldn't start, correct?

I've tried full as well.

Yes, only when its cold. I only have electric start. I give it very little choke 1/4 of the way, tiny little bit of gas (I've tried different combos of course) and push the starter button. It turns and it seems like it wants to start, except it doesn't have the final drive/spark to actually...

Yeah, everything is perfect. The bike runs amazing, engine turns over fine, starts right away when it's mildly warm out (15C), but not when mildly cold (5C). I was told that the charge system was fine, good voltage travelling from starter to alternator to batter - not necessarily in that order...

I'm definitely frustrated but I'm almost sure he'll make it right when I call him tomorrow. I'm not trying to say he had bad service, his communication could have been better, but overall I was happy to talk to him almost daily - just wished he saved me two trips. Do you think bad valves...

Ted is unfortunately where I spent $400. He's a poor communicator because twice he made me drive to his shop when I shouldn't have. When I picked the bike up today, one of the mechanics said I shouldn't have come so that it can stay overnight another day to try out if it'd start. Literally...

Yeah, not quite sure what to do at this point. The mechanic did thoroughly clean the carbs, he did mention removing a seized up jet - I'm assuming a pilot jet? In all honesty, if they did the work they mentioned, is it possible the valves need to be adjusted? I really can't spend much more...
