I trust you´ve figured out the start procedure okay without shoving you´re knee into you´re skull. If not after you´re painfull and lengthy recovery hears how to do it without killing you´re self, first remove old spark plugs then clear the cylinders out by kicking it through a few times put a new set in champion n4c now with key OFF kick the engine through until you feel it come up on the compression stroke open the fuel switches by pulling out and then turning them to lock them open (this is so they don´t vibrate closed and shut the fuel supply off to the engine) with that done push down on the plunger that is on the carb. it´s called a tickler do this until you see fuel drip out of it then release it know you have to kick the engine through once or twice to load the cylinders DO THIS WITH KEY OFF know bring it up on the compression stroke again and push the tickler like before then turn the key on and give it a boot make sure to kick all the way thruogh the stroke off the kicker lever other wise you´re going to blow you´er knee out and get lounched over the bars once it lights put it in neutral it shifts normally just has 4 speeds. If you have never ridin an old beeza before you´re in for the treat of you´re life. but plan you´re stoppes well ahead of time remember you´re dealing with very old technology it´s going to take some getting used to. enjoy and keep it shiny side up
