Yes incorrect float hight.Not showing and external leaks.. floor is clean. Also I’m using the shee carb. I wonder if my float is off. Could that cause it not to start easy takes about 25 kicks but after that it runs good. 6th gear will kind of bog a bit. Using 230 main jet
Pluged pilot jet
Incorrect air screw setting
Bad reeds
Incorrect idle setting can all lead to hard starting.
Also a bad connection between seat and handlebars( which is you)
