I agree sounds rich in the ops case. I can just look at my kick starter sideways and it starts. Don't find the iridium plugs that usefull personally. BR8EG/ES. Same method as everyone else. Choke and 2 kicks cold, or a little throttle open and a single kick hot. Easily starts in gear or neutral.

I found this invaluable with my RMX 2T. It had a PWK fitted and ran similar plugs to the gassers, so i'd put them all in the same category. As it turned out that fresh fuel in the carby was key to this bike, I changed the procedure to running it with the fuel tap off until it just started pinging before packing it away. Less effort than tipping it over Finding TDC was important and became incrementally more important the older the top end was. TDC, a full but not forcefull kick and fresh fuel. Started in no more than 1 -2 kicks. I use the same principals on my 09 ec 300 although thankfully its a lot more compliant..... Starting in gear... Yay! |

Me either. They work fine, but I don't see the point to spending more $. The regular plugs work just as well.

I've been guilty of the "slap stab" before because I would get frustrated. Thank you so much, can't believe how much easier it was to start my bike from cold. Seems so simple now Technique eh. Everything in life is much easier with the right technique! |

Glad that tip worked for you!
That method really works on old left-hand kick open class bikes!
