greeves hawkstone

[asasin]

Im just about to finish my 61 hawkstone. 6e motor , anything I should know before starting it up . I have checked timing and had top end off ( its all good ,polished ported the works) It has all gears. it has a Amal carb fitted to it . Iam asking because I have always had jappas which you just kick and kick until they go. This old girl is pre me so knowlage is a bit thin. any help appreaciated. ( its a very pretty bike)
Cheers

Call me a doubting Thomas but we wo'nt believe you until you show us .



As to your other issue I haven't got any experience other than suggest kick slowly then kick like you hate it  . Then when all else fails a quick sqirt of 'Start Ya Bastard' should do  the trick - works on me Victa .

Tickle it like buggery, kick like crazy, but keep the bike vertical.  Be careful not to lean it away from the float bowl or it'll flood.
