Brian, as part of your starting ritual here is a tip to try that was passed on to me by an experienced XLCH rider. When you kick over the motor hold the kill switch in the "KILL" position so there will be no spark and release the kill switch when you reach the end of the kicker stroke. Kinetic energy should keep the engine turning enough to start the motor with spark.

Tim,
Ahh yes, the beauty of simplicity... In the 43 years that I've owned my '64 CH, I never thought of your kill-button trick! I will try that once the motor is re-installed. Who knows, if it works well, I may even remove the incorrect '65 and later advance/retard setup (that I installed to protect my knee) and return it to the correct locked-mag setup.Bill Pedalino
