915 Eurofox Bad First Start of the Day

OK so if it’s not a throttle position problem, I’d still like to understand why it’s difficult to start cleanly, or is that normal ?

Every 915 owner I know (at least a dozen) reports the same issue with difficult cold starts. One guy spoke to Lockwood about it and apparently Phil told him the throttle position recommended by Rotax in the OM is too high in his opinion. He recommends a lower throttle position for start, but I’m not sure how much lower. I’m calling Lockwood tomorrow about something else (bad EGT probe) so I’ll ask him for more details on his start recommendations.
