For those with an E start, I really don't wont to hear about it!! Anyway how do you start yours ? and what spark plug are you using? I have a 2013 ec300 and I do seem to be struggling, and no, I do not kick like a girl.
any help will be appreciated, cheers and thanks Ads.

Cold engine, use the choke 2 kicks and runs
Warm engine, 1 kick with a blip of the trottle runs Bought the bike used as far as I know it has a stock spark plug and LTR jetting since it runs great I have not checked or touched the plug or jetting. My first dirt bike was a 1997 KTM Lc4 620SC left side kick so the GG300 feals real easy to start.

I have BR8EV in both my 2t's. Try tipping your bike ALL the way over till you see gas coming from the vent tubes.And a little choke,kick.
I've had no starting issues using this procedure. John

You can also try 2 slow kicks just turning the engine over slowly then 1 good kick to start it.

NGK BR8ES plug.
It sat since May when I had my injury and started this week in 3 kicks. Fuel on, choke on, two quick "blips" of the throttle, find TDC and kick.

TDC? sorry don't know what you mean, it does sound like I need a re, jet, I have been running 60/1 has I have had so much oil coming out of the pipe, and I do seem to be using more fuel then my riding mates, I am finding the best way to start up is no choke or gas, but saying that we are having warm weather, if I sound a bit daft its because I am!

A twist of the throttle with engine not turning on a carb without accelerator pump seems useless. What good would it do? (Except verify that the throttle is indeed in working order before starting)
