What a bunch of cry babies. Bought my Goldstar in my teens and never had the problems you guys had! But I used the compression release to start it, that made it easy. Always gave it gas when I was on to steep a climb or in a rut and it always pulled me out. Trusted the bike to pull me out and it always did. Treated the engine right and took care of the machine. Maybe something you guys forgot, like the compression release. Still have it since ´71 stll runs. Check it´s racing history.
