Cool guys thanks for the info. Yea I thought I had the knack down, its a new purchase and what I did the first few times was full choke, rake up the idle needle, few good full compression kicks and shes cackling away, warm it up, put in the choke and re trim the idle, but today it was being a complete bitch and I threw it in, really want to try get the knack down to starting it before I take out on a ride or to the park and look like a complete twat not being able to start it!!!!

Ill keep trying, alltho I might take it to spectrum for a quick service and see if they can suggest anything thats easier or can help make it start better.

Def when money allows getting an electric start, fck this kicking business!

Fuck!- mine must be a good one then!
sometimes it will start as Im just rocking it over, but always it starts 2or 3 kicks.

Itll be all that kicking that wears out the idler gear (no shit sherlock!)

You should have bought mine haha.

Im still selling both for $1800 if anyone is keen

This one is good when It stars, it had everything I wanted on it all ready to go, shes fine when she starts up but just a prick to do so plus the price was REALLY goooood!
