I have noticed lately on my 78 RR Shadow (17,000 miles) the engine will not speed up when I start from cold. I press the accelerator before starting the engine. Until now, it would start immediately with the fast engine speed. Now, I have to restart it a few times before the engine will catch & speed up. After it starts up & idles fast, it is perfect: will cut back to idle speed when pressing the accelerator. Super smooth acceleration. Just doesn't want to start immediately with the fast idle when cold. Any help appreciated.
