[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 13237, member: 161"] To start with the least amount of exertion pull in the valve lifter, swing down on the kick start and release the valve lifter as the kick start nears the bottom of the stroke. The weight of the spinning flywheels bumps the engine over compression. Practice a little to get the sequence co-ordinated. Using this method removes the strain on you and your legs as you are not subjected to the shock of pushing through the compression stroke. Assuming that you have the engine in reasonable condition with suitable timing and carburettor settings starting should not be onerous. Pain in my right knee was becoming a problem. It has stopped hurting since I started using this method. Regards, Eddy [/QUOTE]
