## Article

IMPORTANT

You may want to consider setting up the bike on a stand for a solid starting location at first untill your confident

Turn on Both Fuel and Choke

DO NOT open the throttle (dont turn the throttle)

Move the starter down untill it gets stiffer , your looking for top dead center

Let the starter come back up and give a full strong swift kick ALL the way thru

REPEAT

DO NOT KICK RAPIDLY

When warm just dont use the choke

Flooded Engine:
IF your flooded , pull the plug , Kick it over like 10 time WITH THE PLUG OUT
Put in a NEW PLUG

One more thing
I find at times it helps to just crack the throttle a tiny bit to let air in , just a tiny bit
