[QUOTE="Jez Nemeth, post: 158272, member: 3871"] Been using and trying that technique you mentioned way back Greg, and that's how I started it both times, bringing it on with a slight throttle increase once it catches. My problem is I think I'm TDC deaf. Like some folx are tone deaf -I have a real hard time working out where compression/top of stroke is half the time -can set it by hand to just over though, bring it back up then jump on it...it's a hell of a workout, up down. I'll reset carb with a bit more revs again and play with that...unfortunately out tomorrow cutting away rust and welding in new panels on my T3 in a local garage all day (Sat). Both times it went with a good rotational kick, surprisingly not huge on both occasions, same as a 500 -lazy don't cut it with this one. Jacquline Bickerstaff was super generous with her time one evening at the Glos Rally few years back and went through her bike technically, tip to tail- answered all my questions when I was still putting my bike together. Can't thank her enough for the time spent and sharing fathomless knowledge and advice -Just turned my internal recorder on and listened. Took in all the technicals and advice - above everything she said this phrase resonates - 'They're all different, individual -no two are or behave exactly the same and you only get to know your bike by spending time with it' -'character' is the term I believe ;) that was the first time I'd heard that said, and although heard it many times since, it never fails to raise a wry smile from now knowing through experience what it means. -so the quest to find the variations of starting technique for when its cold/hot is still on for this particular machine ;) [/QUOTE]
