Starting procedures:
Both choke levers forwards on handle bars with slight air gap on both choke levers, Turn both fuel taps ON towards the downwards position i. e ( at 6 o, clock ) Tickle both carbs to dribble fuel / Caution: not too much be careful, pull/ hold in decompressor lever, stroke over engine 3 to 4 times to draw fuel mixture in both cylinder pots, find TDC just before ( this you will need to master ) then one big kick without the decomp and away she will GO, Its as easy as pie as they say in ENGLISH : ) : ) : )
