[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1399233, member: 16802"] Don't try to start it like a two stroke. Firm, full strokes of the kickstarter. Don't turn the throttle. You might try to first give 1 maybe 2 full twists of the throttle before you kick the engine over. 4 strokes can be hard to get used to after riding 2 strokes for so long. Before you tear into anything, do the basics. Find the top of the stroke and then reset your kickstarter lever all the way up and really kick all the way thru. Eventhough you have auto decompression, finding the top of the stroke takes full advantage of the lever when you kick it thru. You might bump the idle up a bit as well. Turning the throttle while you kick will just flood the engine making it harder to start. [/QUOTE]
