T140 love em. I usually turn the kick start untill i get resistance , then tickle the carbs , then without the stand ,drop my weight on the kick starter, the little beute never fails, but the sod does suffer clutch creep, been told am using wrong oil possibly. got any thoughts.
First thing you alway's must do is to Free the clutch. Pull in the clutch lever while in neutral and kick slowly once or twice untill the clutch is free. You know when it's free because all of a sudden there is no drag on the kick staterter and it strokes easily. Stroke it untill the pistons are at T.D.C. Top Dead Center. Now you turn on the key, tickle both carbs and use the kick start lever to actually start the motor. If she's in tune it will start on the first kick every time.
