I wish someone had a video of AJ's patented double kick, in one fell swoop. Truly amazing to behold. If your plug is wet and you are not turning the throttle, then bet the pilot is fat. 97, change the float valve and for the heck of it check the float height. After you run it, check the plug for temperature. I am of the opinion that laying the bike over is ridiculous, a pain in the back and I am pretty sure that I could fix that. Sad part is, I have started bikes like that myself, in the past. I hate fussy 500's! An overweight friend comes in handy, except for feeding them. I weigh 165 and have big issues trying to start ill running big bores. The kickstand is a terrible and likely to brake idea. Jetted properly and decent technique. Well, of curse the engine needs to be in order, and the reeds, air filter, timing and on and on.
