Well, minor recommissioning accomplished we fired her up yesterday: first time in 36 years. She would't go with the kickstart, partly due to my over oiling the primary chain case, I thought, but a bump start did the trick first time - marvellous! Further attempts today with the kick start resulted in failure and I'm thinking the spark is a bit feeble. Could be that the magneto isn't top notch, but I wonder if it might be worth trying a new plug to start with. So which plug should I try - and who is the best supplier??
