Kicking starting
« on: March 24, 2006, 08:11:56 PM »
I just swapped motors last week, the electric start is noisy so i have been kick starting.
This "new" engine is a #$%* to kick start, I get a lot of kick back, and if I wind the kicker a few times and give it a good kick it fires.
My other engine is a breeze to start, and can't recall it ever kicking back.

Did you check your ignition timing?
