Default Hard Starting

About a month ago the dealer I use had to replace the rear jug on my bike , it was seeping oil and they found pin holes in the casting.Since the repair had been made the bike wants to start hard. It use to hit as soon as you hit the start button,but now it turns over about 4 times before it starts and sometimes it just seems to give up and burp, sounds like it is comming from the air cleaner. It is an 02 Electra Glide EFI. Anybody have any ideas that I can use for ammo when I go to the dealer with this problem.I woud like to know if it might be related to anything they had done to my bike, that might just need adjusted. Thanks

You just expended your ammo....

Repeat what you just said to the dealership....

Tell them that you are not satisfied with the work they did because............





And go from there....
