I apologize if there has been an answer in the past. I bought a 78' xs650 and have been trying to get the damn thing started. I know it starts because we had it running two days ago and again yesterday. Today, I just can't seem to get it in the position to fire it up.
I turn the thing on, put the petcock in the "On" position, and start kickin'...I can hear it firing but I just can't get the damn thing to fire up. I'm thinking maybe I'm just not getting the kickstarter in the right position? I put the pedal down into what seems like nuetral (I don't get that light click) to the point where it rolls back and forth and doesn't lurch forward during kickstarting.
Thanks in advance guys.
