Only issue I've seen with bikes started on full throttle, is the thing revs very aggressively once it starts, not ideal for a stone cold engine. If your engine starts this way, i'd suggest try not using the tickler and/or the choke.........It appears that just turning on the fuel and closing the chokes, cycle the engine over 2 or 3 compressions with the decomp lever, then kicking seems to give good results. Of course this is pendant on your float levels being ok and all else being ok as well......As far as buying expensive items to cure hard starting, well you can only use what is available now really.......New Amal side bowl carby's have certainly grown to ridiculous prices now.......as for ignition, well finding good re-builders of magnetos is only going to get harder (and who's to say they are any good anyway.......a lot aren't).......a new Tri-spark ignition system is pretty cheap in reality, although it is a coil ignition set up........As many have found out the hard way......do not use an electric starter as a tuning tool to fix your bikes poor running issues.......Once you have an electric starter you never look back........You can ride your bike longer and it will be much easier to sell to a future buyer........Cheers.
