Please forgive this idiotic question. What is the starting sequence for a BSA 650 Thunderbolt? My dear older brother just passed away after a long battle with cancer and left me his amazing 1970 BSA. It is completely original. I have a basic layman´s knowledge of bikes but can´t seem to get the thing started. everything seems operational and I think my error is in the way I am trying to start it. I turn the key on - hold in the clutch and kick start whilst giving it a little gas - I have a feeling feeling I´m stupidly missing a basic step. any help would be deeply appreciated.
thx
