Motorcycle Repair: slow starting the engine, honda goldwing, cylinder compression

Question
I have a 1982 Honda Goldwing. The problem is that in the morning when the engine is cool it starts right up. I ride it for a few miles,stop and turn the engine off. After 2 or 3 minutes I want to get going again. I have a hard time starting the bike again. The Starter and Battery are fairly new.

Answer
Hi Elias,

I suspect the carbs need a thorough cleaning and synchronization to restore proper performance.

I would need to know cylinder compression and appearance of spark plugs to know more specifically what to advise.
