Default Hard to start

Having some issues with my 150. Seems like it doesn't want to start turning over right away. It will take a couple seconds and you can hear a low high pitch noise before the starter begins to crank. Also seems like if I run the buggy for a little bit sometimes it doesn't even crank when I try to restart it. Has a new battery, starter, and solenoid within the last 6 months. Any ideas? Also wondering if whatever it is could be affecting my WOT cutting in and out if it is electrical in nature.

Think maybe the auto-choke has trouble? So once you WOT it's too much for the engine and it runs rich? But that wouldn't explain the problems starting, would it?

Make sure all your wiring connections are snug inside the black box. And no wires touching each other.

Its not the auto-choke. I installed a manual one a while back. I will look back over all of the wiring this evening if I get a chance.

Check the ground wire to the cvt cover. If it is loose it will not start well.
