Suzuki Carry Engine Issue

My 1984 Suzuki Carry engine takes time to fire up at first start. Once started and engine warms up, it runs well and starts easily thereafter. Any idea what could be the problem. Plugs, points replaced and set, timing is fine but the problem persists.

The problem could be electrical malfunction.  Do check your battery too.  Sometimes a little cleaning of the battery will help.

 Might be poor connection in the starting circuit or starter do check your condition of your battery too.

There is a hack, before starting twist the key to start the warmer after the warmer lamps lights and switches off again turn off the vehicle and twist the key again so that the warmer light turns on and off again then start the vehicle by doing this you are employing your warmer plugs to warm up the engine and your engine would fire-up smoothly. If the climate is very cold sub-zero like that try doing this 3 times then fire up the engine. Works like a charm.

Sounds like you could have bad plugs or wires.
