Why does a 1983 honda shadow VT750 backfire dureing cold start?

i got a 1983 honda shadow vt750. when i cold start it, it backfires a couple of times before it starts. does anyone have any clue what the problem might be?|||Bad spark plugs. Possibly needs new wires, less likely but if it has sat out in the weather that is a possibility.|||My guess would be the carbs need a bit of cleaning but if it runs fine once warmed up it could valve adjustment is slightly off.


Check the plugs for how they're burning, check the air filter for good flow, do a compression test and judge from there.|||Spark plugs
