[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 54848, member: 2708"] Yesterday was start up day and it went well. The engine fired first kick and started on the second kick. It takes quite an effort to kick the engine thru, the only way is to use the decompressor to ease it just thru compression on the front cylinder then give it a mighty kick with no decompressor. The long space before compression on the rear cylinder is usually enough to get it to go thru. Luckily, with the extra hot Pazon ignition, it takes very little crank speed to start. It generally starts in one kick, provided it rolls over and doesn,t just bounce back on compression. The power is phenomenal, even with the rev limiter set to 5,000 rpm for break in. It has a nice solid but cammy idle right at 1,000 rpm. The throttle response is very quick, maybe a function of the Dellorto accelerator pump type carbs? Glen [/QUOTE]
