hello, im new to triumph kickstart procedure. my bike is in very good condition purchase from a friend of a friend. it wasnt running but he said it has started in the not to distant past. he seemed ok i had no reason not to believe him.. problem is i´m not quite sure of the starting procedure. i replaced the points, condensers and sparkplugs. carbs are clean. won´t turn over. it might be something im not doing right. also on the right handle bar there are two black buttons, one above and one below the kill switch. i cannot find any info on what they do. any info would be appreciated. thanks
