Sometimes,depends on cluch at the time,I have better luck peadling the kicker.If it wants to start it will,always turn back the circuit breaker(its not a distributor) or you waste a good gas oxagine combo.Usal is not enough gas at cold starts and to much fumes (gas) at warm > hot starts.If you kick over say 10 .15 times.take a break and maybe have throttle open to clear fumes or wet gas.! more thing try squeezing fuel line (if rubber type) like 7 or8 times to get gas in bowl if bike sat a while like days weeks.1 1 more thing somehow a low fuel supply in tank/s seems harder start,even though there is fuel in line/filter etc.Keep knee bent and off metal kick pedals(custom) and Good Luck! k NJ.

 

M74B is stock carb for a 65 pan. Kicking her has as many ways as there are riders. Go to www.sscycles.com. This is the home page for S&S. Technical pages should be of some help. And of course when you are gonna kick it in a parking lotg full of people watching...she will never start on the first kick!
