I have a 85 xl600 kickstart bike. It is a pain to get started. The choke seems to make it worst and flood it. whats a good technique for a thumper? thanks
 
J has it. Fresh plug. Fresh fuel. Drain the condensation out of the float bowl. Be sure you have valve clearance. closed throttle, but be ready to tweak it if you get a pop.

A great bike, once you get it started. Kicking it over repeatedly finished off a lifelong career of kick starting big singles.
