Hey all! So now that i got my Jackshaft kit kinda installed onto my bike i need to kickstart it via the pedals. The bike with the jackshaft is really hard to cold start but my other bike starts fine even if i kick start like this: Turn on fuel and choke to ON position, lift rear wheel and kick the bike over (it starts on first kick), pull in clutch and move choke to about half way and let it run for about 30 seconds and then turn the choke to the OFF position. I do all of this without it stalling once...
The jackshaft bike however needs about half throttle for it to start and needs alot of playing around with the choke until it warms up.
Both bikes are stock except the Jackshaft one has a home-made exhaust from a pocket bike.
-Carb is clean and adjusted right (maybe a bit on the lean side, adjusting needle clip doesnt help)
-Spark plug and gap is good (same as the one that starts with no issues)
-Spark color is also good (blue/purple-ish)
-No air leaks (i think at least since the idle is good)
