I gently push the kickstart till I can feel the compression build up (piston coming to the top) then it goes quite firm and I can feel it "notch" twice, it will then kick first time nearly every time. It's perfect when cold or properly hot, it's just if it's sat for 1/2 an hour or so.
If it's cold full choke and no throttle or just no throttle if it's warm then catch it with a blip of throttle as it fires. do not touch the throttle if it doesn't fire.
When you kick make sure you do kick it all the way round, if your foot is coming off the back your probably only kicking it for about 1/2 of it's travel.

Evidently;
Yours, and this is after taking some of Steve's advice, wasn't it 44bhp before?
Mine, as we can see yours is miles ahead...........in the bent conrod award standings.
Now I've got a modded lid on and gave gone down a size on the mains it's even better than this.
Dave yours is THAT bad the dyno software has given the readout a different scale to mine. Think I'll stick with one thats a bit of a pain to start.
And since when was "cuz" part of the Queens English?
