495 kick starter
« on: April 01, 2010, 03:53:00 pm »
thinkin bout starting the resotration of my 83 495 in the next few months but I keep looking at that 6 inch kick starter and thinking there must be a better way to start the damn thing. Has anyone seen a longer kick start lever for these things. The compression is huge and the kick starter really short...

Put it in third rock it backswards and forwards a few times to help fill the camber with fuel then kick it like your ex wife. If that fails sell it because your a girl and it will scare you.  ;)
