[QUOTE="luke lawrence, post: 1443019, member: 128902"] last summer I got an old 1980 ke 175 to fix up. it had been sitting for well over 10 years outside. i finally within a week had it running. ive put a lot of work into it geting it to look good but it it just to hard to start ive broken 4 kickstart levers :BANG: and almost my leg because when im kickstarting it and give it a little gas it kicks back and throws me to the moon i don't understand how it kicks back that hard.:YIKES: some days ill walk out and it will start first kick cold or warm and other days or even in the same day it will take over 20 kicks to start. when im bump starting it on a dirt road the tire will just lock up in second gear most of the time i have to be going down hill for it to not. And it back fires hot and cold when starting it. that thing runs fine and has plenty of power for an old bike but it just takes forever and is a pain to start. . the bike has spark plenty of compression (i can stand on the kickstart lever and stay up) and runs fine just hard to start. (it also has a lot of black sludge coming out of the muffler) \ has anybody had anything similar happen or knows what it is any help would be greatly appreciated.:THUMB: [/QUOTE]
