The kart is a BITCH to get started, thank the lord for Larry W's comp release mod, there is no way I would be able to get enough leverage on the kick lever stock. You can see I kinda have to kick rearward and down so you can't use your body weight like on a bike. It will just take some time to learn the new precise method of starting. On a side note this kart is gonna VaVaVaVaVibrate pretty badly I can tell !
