[lawrence]

Hey i was wondering if any of use could help me my electric starts broken but my kickstart takes about 7 kicks to start my friends thumpstar starts after 1 or 2 kicks but mines so fukin annoying. can any of use tell me how to make it start on like the first or second kick.

hey mate could be a compression issue or valve clearances...or you could have weak legs lol

could be spark plug

Try using the choke, or when you give it a kick try snapping your throttle, just watch out that you dont open it up too much and flood it and also watch out cos sometimes it can kick back. Other than that u prob just have to live with it. Atleast u can actualy get the thing started and ride it! i wuldn be worried but thats just my opinion.

Don't worry about snapping your throttle just hold the thing open when starting it. I know to noobs it would seem like you're gonna flood it but don't worry it clears everything up. Hold it open, baby. Wide open.
