[QUOTE="BigRedAF, post: 1259815, member: 58172"] Fresh gas mixed at 32:1 with a petroleum base oil or 40:1 with a synthetic will be fine. A fresh plug, I run a BP8ES on the 500 per Eric Gorr's recommendation. If you have stock jetting they come a bit fat... Consider dropping the pilot and the main one size and set the air screw out 1.5 turns. Those jets are a baseline recommendation for 1000 feet, yours may be different. Once all is set and your ready try this. 1. Gas on. 2. Choke on. 3. Two slooow kicks to get the suction started. 4. Kick it slow to find the hard spot, compression stroke. 5. Let up on the kick lever to get a full stroke. 6. Give it a good full kick, should light off. :laugh: Mine starts in one or two kicks every time, been riding 500's since 1988...
