[inverted-bird]

I have to crank my '99 grizzly for ten minutes before it will start. It runs fine after I get it starrted. Anyone have advise?

start with basics dude. check for spark at the wire.if thats ok give it a snort of either in the air box.if it fires then you know its fuel related and you can go after the carb.
