how hard should it be to start???

[tjsdaname]

how much force should you have to use to get the engine to kick over???

because i really think i need to rebuild my topend.... just the weight of my leg pushed the kickstarter down....

It should start up no problem if your compression is good, but in your case, sounds like it has low com., test it and see.

I bet you have low compression. Mine did the same thing. i tested it yesterday and it wasnt even 90 psi...healthy is 150psi.

Time for a bore and rebuild.

anything over 100 is good, but you should have to atleast force the kicker down, not much but enough to know!! its all pretty much a lil common sense!!!hope it helps!
