    I got tired of screwen with the starter cause its time to ride, I still had that short to find and was beaten my brains out lookin for it when my wife called and told me - screw that bike for a while and go fishin so you can get your mind rite. I came back from the lake three hrs. later and that sum-bich fell together and fired on the secon kik. dammit, sommtimes they can make goog decisions. I'll be in the wind soon as the rain leaves an som sun comes out.

    Sometimes the best we can do is to walk away n come back later with a fresh perspective...guess this was just one of those times. Glad you got it figured out. Enjoy yer ride

    Aloha...Mike

    Good news, man. So you have a kick/electric start bike? Can't beat the kicker in some situations. When I built my shovel I could have gone with electric start and almost did. Decided to go kick start only for several reasons: less electrical stuff to go wrong and it's just plain cool for a 70 year old to still be into kick starting his own bike.

    It has on rare occasion left me limping LOL. Hope you will be riding trouble free, brother.
