Do most gz's turn over that long to start.... Mine seems to be crank start no turning over. Just like My car just crank start not even multiple revolutions of the starter. It is "ca..vroom" but mine is garage kept and choked 1/2 way when I start it every morning. and outside all day when i start it in the evening.

His bike does sound a little long to start. Mine started within 1 sec, maybe 1 or 2 revs of the engine.

So no, normally it would not crank that long. Also the term "turn over" usually means the engine starts up (combustion begins). Some may feel that "turn over" means the engine cranking as in sound two.

I actually meant that the starter was turning over the engine not that the engine was making a revolution on its own, by means of combustion. Just making sure that there wasn't something wrong with my bike like a fuel leak... i.e. leaking down at the carburetor so that the engine was already to start all the time because then there might be fuel leaking into the cylinder head and that could pose a major problem and pollute the oil and/or make the clutch slip as well as not cool it off as well.
