Atomik blitz very hard to start

[frank]

hey i got an atomik blitz with a few upgrades
custom mufler
light kit
gold honda front wheel
honda front brake caliper
i might be puting an honda xl350 carb on goin to have a look at it today nd see if it fits

but its very hard to start. its nearly imposible to kick nd doesnt evan start with eletric start. the only way to start it is by push starting it
and after that it runs fine and evan after an 30min ride cant kick it oe eletrik start it on push start works
im thinking it coulds be the valves not adjusted right but i have no clue the the gaps are
or evan the honda carby will help

can anyone help me?

thanks

ya sounds like you need a valve adjustment, set inlet and outlet to .004

you shouldnt have oil in your magneto mate i would suggest that the seal around ur magneto is gone mate.

that's pretty lazy man, you should always make sure your valves are set right before trying to fix carby problems, not the other way around or you're just wasting your time.
if you've never adjusted your valves before I'll guarantee they're tight as hell causing your bike to have shit compression making it hart to start

its the same as an honda xl350
and theres sposed to be oil in there
