Whats the best way to start the 5 hundie ?

[Billua]

To Start mine, Cold: Choke on, 2 twists of throttle, full kick from the top of the stroke, fires right up.

Hot: a little twist of the throttle held while giving it a full kick from the top of the stroke, fires first kick.

In both cases..Did I say kick it from the top of the stroke?

Cheers!

just coming from a noob but this is the best way for me.

First don't skimp on the 2 cycle oil or gas.  Get high quality of both and save yourself and your energy.
Ok the next for me was to lightly push the kick start to get the engine on the compression stroke.  Then allow the kick start to come up 1 click from horizontal.  That seems to allow the kick to spin the motor just enough to fire but still allows me to not feel akward trying to kick it.  Other than that Start with Choke on and I normally tweek the throttle a bit for the first 2 kicks then the 3rd kick normally starts up on cold.  Hot normally starts one kick.
I think that's about it from my experience.

Other tid bits of worthless knowledge that I have found for any motor is to remove the spark plug and torch the end to heat it up.  Then put it back in and violla.  It's starts like it's a hot start.  It's a last ditch effort but wow that has saved me a few times with the snowblower, lawnmower, etc.

I think some of you guys might get a "kick" out of this video, especially the guys stressing to wear proper boots, and not just running shoes  Nothing but socks!

I learned a trick from a friend which involves taking 1 of the air tubes and blowing into it. within a couple of kicks it should start

  Not to be a d*ck, but twisting the throttle on a bike that isn't running will do absolutely nothing.  It's a vacuum system and it needs to be running for any fuel to be sucked/pumped into the carburetor.

  Just sayin'....
