Hi all
My r1 engine has developed a cold start problem. Basically it won't start! If i poor petrol into the throttle openings it fires and runs fine.
Then if i stop the eninge it will restart fine Any ideas?
Thanks

I seem to remember on my r1 westfield the 5pw has a coolant operated waxstat that operated the fast idle from cold so maybe a problem with that.

You the man!! I went to inspect the stat and noticed the wires on one of the coolant sensors was broken and the other one was nearly sheared! Fixed
both wires and it stats on the button now. It also cured my ongoing problem of the revs rising randomly at idle 
Cheers
