Hahahahaha!!!
Please tell me it's a Maico 490
Slowly move the kick lever so the piston is at the top of the stroke then give it a full solid crank
Right on Thanx brotha kicking my ass
So, I like to prime the engine with a few slow moves through the travel of the kick lever.
Then i apply a hefty pressure to the lever and get i to just pop past compression and onto top dead center. This motor makes an obvious noise and movement when it arrives in the tdc groove.
Then, lever to the top and kick one time as hard as possible.
If no fire, get it back to tdc past the compression and try again.
The motor should spin 4-5 times per one kick if you set the engine past compression.
Here I am starting the motor in question.

When cold prime the motor in some way like kicking thru slow a few times with throttle open, lean bike over til gas runs out overflow on carb, one of these ideas or like that. Then the TDC thing as above and kick. If you tip over after it is warm then hold it wide open and kick like above til it starts.
