[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1124912, member: 18388"] I've never had an issue with starting no matter how long it sat. If stored for the winter, I put Seafoam in the tank and go for a short ride to run it through, then park it. Fast starter points to low compression, which may be crud build-up on the valve stems as one possibility. I would think cylinder wash is not the main culprit, as that should fix itself within the first few cranks, but maybe. It might be worth the trouble of removing the airbox and taking a peek into the intakes to see if there is significant build-up on the valve stems. [/QUOTE]
