When the motor has reached its full operating temps you can shut it off for a couple minutes and let it heat soak  and when you hit the starter button it attempts to turn over but stalls then a noticeable spark knock (one) then turns over and it starts up . 15,000 miles stage one and running a bit rich a 0ne year old battery I believe is good, charging system working, no codes, tried a new crank sensor nope! starter stall draw 225-250 forgot what it was after stall,  ran seafoam through the carb for 10 -15 minutes maybe some carbon guess not. checked for air leaks. compression test has it at 200 wow! but that's what the manual says . If it was an older one I'd say someone advaced the timing .Haven't had many later xl's in the shop could use some idea's thanks I will try another batt tomorrow since my jump box was dead but I think the battery is ok
