You've given it a full tune-up recently?

My K3 was also a little slow on the first start up each day. Everything else was in good spec. Mr. Hondaman recommends new condensors because they age and leak current.  It sure worked on my bike.

I had this problem and it was finally solved with new carb to manifold rubber connectors. Dan
