So several hours later at first light I went out there to trouble shoot and it starts right up. 5 minutes of driving and I kill the engine. Try to start (kick). This has always been a finely tuned first kick start machine. After about 8tries... Nothing. So I turn it full throttle and kick start... And vuala she works. So apparently the battery terminal connected to the starter solenoid is fine left unattached... But what's going on with the alteration in kick start reliability? Btw it's a 47mm kit running I think a 90 main jet. Runs like a champ and I'm 260 lbs. Does 22 mph up steep hills and top speed is around 50mph with a little downhill help. Never EVER had any issue (other than a dead starter motor probably) till now.
