MM101,
Is turning the old girl over giving you trouble, or getting it to light up?
check this out for starting a big bore two stroke similar to yours.
http://media.putfile.com/Crankin-up Don't be concerned with the color of the bike or the dude kickin' it. (insert hair pulling out smiley here)
I thought I had the starting thing down. Ruined a brand new pair of a'star 6's. and then saw this short vid.
The thing I was missing was pushing the kicker JUST past tdc and then giving it a good whail.
My KX is much easier to spin over than the red bike. If I'm not mistaken the later model KX kips is cracked open at rest to ease starting for F.R.O.G.'s* like me.
"If you are driving up stop by for a killer ride. I am most likely on the route. Cam."
(never pass up an opportunity to ride with a Silverback!)
I am barely able to drag & drop links and a hunt and peck one finger typest.
I wish I had the video and dig camera talents to do my own work instead of pirating other folks stuff.
(maybe during recovery from carpel tunn surg I'll learn sumtin')
