Try this: Keep the ignition OFF. Open the enricher fully. Keeping the ignition off, kick through 3 compression strokes. Close enricher. Get the kicker up on the compression stroke. Turn on the ignition and kick. If it does not start turn the ignition OFF and get it back up on the compression stroke. Turn the ignition on and kick. Continuously kicking with the ignition on can foul your spark plugs.
As a mechanic, we bought our little farm on a road with a hill, so that I can do the first test ride uphill, and then coast home if somthing goes wrong, anything to avoid the walk of shame (pushing your project home) hah.
I like how you didn't edit out how many kicks it took to start the bike. Keeping it real.
love those pull back buckhorns.
Gotta love these old shovel heads !! Cheers mate ! G. Speight
Hold your foot down at the bottom of the kick for a second or two and it shouldn’t give that kick back pressure.

KICK KICK KICK! Sick chopper man!!
Beautiful bike, great video!
Cool idea to run the combo fuel/oil tank - looks great!
Love it brother ride safe later ❤🔥🙏
Cool ride man!
Best part of building is being the test pilot, in my opinion....
Had a ‘75 Sportster that I’d chopped. Stated first kick every time no one was around. If there was an audience, then 17 kicks.
Im glad my shovelhead only took 3 priming kicks and it was a one kick bike after that lol
Owning a kickstart only bike makes you appreciate the electric leg 😅
How does the higher front end affect ride and steering? Are you less agile?
Well it is quite heavy to turn in low speed and very slow to initiate a turn when going a faster than walking speed
coolast i Veberöd! 🤙
Handlebars are sick you make them?
Nope walked in at a local store and picked on off the shelf. 😊
It's not a honda bring it up on compression stroke , probably need a prime kick with ignition off
Is your tank half oil half gas?
It sure is, looks about as cool as it is useless. got about a 40km range at the moment
Anyone know the song used?
"Hellfire" by Ben Bostick and "Black Motorcycle" by Southern call
Check your timing.
Хочу сделать такую видео игру. Для зимних вечерних посиделок😢
