Stupid comp's, Bert will have a prototype done next week. SHHHHHHHH don't go telling everyone yet though.

Bit of rain here, more like mist. Good day to continue tearing a bike apart. One of these days I gotta put one back together... just kidding, 4 of em can wobble down the road. And the trail bike has all it's pieces together, but starter quit. Why the bad word did they ever ditch kick starters?

'cause as motors got bigger and bigger, it'd be like trying to kick start a small car.

That's what compression releases are for. If it has a carb and a Dyna S ignition you can kick it.

But, what if it has fuel injection, like essentially every current engine?

Inquiring minds want to know!
