[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 108670, member: 38"] Reference my earlier post, and yes, I have started mine for many years by just giving it a good kick dropping the valve lifter lever about 1/2 way through the stroke. Recently, as I become old and feeble and having noticed that my HD hall effect ignition flicks the ammeter as the trigger fires I can easily see where the long and short gaps are, so now just roll it past the short gap and proceed as above. It often starts first kick, about 3/4 of the way down the stroke. I agree about assuming things.... That tends to make an Ass out of u and me! [/QUOTE]
