Starting problems I have an 82 gold wing that will not start on a cold morning. It has a new fully charged battery. I can crack the throttle while cranking and it will spin a few times try to catch then lug down, sometime I can jump it and it will start right off. If i wait until it's around 40 deg. it will start right up, it's gt me bumfuzzled.

Help in the link.

I would check spark plugs for gap and condition. Clean Throttle Body and MAF. Make sure battery is fully charged. You probably need a good auto-electrician.

Mine does the same thing. I put a new gel battery with high cold cranking amps from Advanced Auto Parts. Look to spend 100 bucks. Choke at full choke and it starts right up now. Gold Wings are cold natured. I own 2 and both are. But the battery took care of the cold starts.

had a friend his did same the brushes in starter one of them had a crack in it not broke just crack ,replaced then and hasnt done it again since

the fuel cap is blocked take it off and run a small drill bit through it to clear it or use a slighty larger bit and drill it out

Hope this helps

One press the clutch and keep on trying to get the gear into neutral.
Two, check your battery charge, sounds to me it is very weak / low in charge. You can have it on trickle charge overnight to fully charge your battery and try again afterward.
Good enough?

Without the benefit of actually being able to look at a few things on the bike, I can only give you an idea. Since everything is new, there are two areas that could be a problem. The areas are in the fuel and compression areas.

I see you said that you had the carbs redone but the Gold Wing carbs have a reputation for not holding up very well. The carbs may have be rebuilt but they still might not be in the best shape. One other thing, since the bike uses an enricher system to start the engine instead of a choke, try starting the bike with the enricher on and the throttle fully closed. Some people try to "crack" the throttle when using the enricher circuit and this negates the purpose of the enricher. Leave the throttle completely closed and try that. Make sure the enricher works on both carbs too.

Next, you didn't say how many miles you have on the bike. Did you have a compression test run on the engine? If you have worn rings, a cam timing belt that is stretched, or valves that are not seating very well, you could be suffering from low cranking compression. This is cranking compression down around 50 psi or so. This is caused by the compression leaking down at the slow piston speeds when you're trying to get the engine started. Once started, the engine will run rather well but getting it started is a job. It might be time for a top end rebuild with new rings, cam drive belt, and valve job.

When it is cold out you will need to use the choke more to get them to start. This is normal on almost all carberated bike's. Also crack the throtle just a bit with the choke on when starting.

First have the battery(s) tested. A number of car parts places will do it free. The test must be under load. Voltage may be fine in a discharged battery. In a 1985 Gold Wing the problem may be in the ignition switch. have the switch checked out.

The lower the voltage the higher the amperage. At twlve volts the charging sytem should be pooring the coals to the battery. Bttery sounds more like the culprit. If battery charges up corectly, the voltage will slowly rise to 14,.2 after startup. Have battery charged and load testest out of vehicle (bike) As battery goes bad the charging system works harder and speeds up battery quietus( death)

Sounds like you battery is shot. Could your battery have been exposed to below freezing weather while not fully charged?? If so you likely froze it this winter and have buckled the plates, If that's a possibility replace it.
