Yes you can kick it over in the boot. I think the plug has to be touching ground for that to work?

Best to have someone watch it for you so you can kick it over good. Can see the spark best in dark conditions

yea i know man sucks. and idk why i said swinger.. i meant the axle.
on a good note after the bike kicked over i let it run for 10 mins then shut her down. cooled for about 30 then kicked her over again. then cooled for about 45 mins. then i kicked it again and gave some small blips of the throttle. idled for about 5-10 mins. then i putted down the street in 1st -2nd gear. did that twice on a 3/4 mile road. on the way back to the house i got about half throttle in 3rd-4th gear. that cylinder has some power. more torque than my stock cylinder with mid range porting. i need to get a temp gauge though cause it feels pretty hot. but i dont think its scary hot. i have a fluidye radiator with engine ice in there and a cooler thing on my rad line. should be good enough i would think

Be careful with letting idle for to long. That bad boy needs air "let it eat". :character0029:

well i didnt get to ride to much today cause the bike just wouldnt run right at all. when i first started riding the jetting was good with a 50 pilot and 172 main in the 38 a/s carb. after like 1 run it wouldnt idle and kept fouling plugs. i needed a smaller pilot jet but just didnt have it. i even tried multiple needles but nada. ofcourse i i have tons of jets and needles but the smaller pilot jet i need i just didnt have. will buy one on tuesday. i also kept fouling plugs. i mean covered in oil. would the pilot being that rich foul plugs??

When you pull the pilot jet make to see if there is anything in the jet plugging it up. I once had a little piece of rubber come off the fuel line and it was stuck in the pilot jet causing an abnormal amount of smoke. When the carb sits around open to the atmosphere even bugs crawl in. A 50 sounds right but there might be a different explanation.

yea i looked in there a couple times. i just need to be one size smaller. the bike ran strong once i got into 3rd gear and above. or more than a quarter throttle. i also tried other needles. i was running ddj in there. its wierd cause when i was doing heat cycles the bike was running awesome down low. i think today was much hotter and also the bike was running much longer than before. i think those two variables may knock me down a jet size?? idk thats all i can think of
