I have a 1981 kawasaki, runs and starts great til the the next day???? Won't start up in the morning, but when I return in the afternoon, it will start right up. I checked the spark plugs, theyre' dry as a bone. I choked it still won't start up in the morning.

Does it bump start ok?

yes it does, it starts great right now. just in the morning it doesn't start

Check your battery. Make sure the electrolite level is correct as well as voltage being ok.

I went through the same problem (no start in the morning except bump-start) with my '86 Radian just this last week. Filled the bone-dry ( ) battery and it started great this morning.

Take some time and read this, too: http://www.dansmc.com/batteries.htm

Thanks, I'll try that.
