Almost everyone i see with a kick start Shovel, they do prime kicks first. My Shovelhead is an Electric start, and I could give 2 sh*ts about what anyone says. Enjoy your bike, and piss on the Haters

Piss on the haters for sure! Prime kicks seem to be the trick for this one also, though the electric starter helps also 🤣

@@TheTctoocold when one of these old bikes is cold, especially if it's been sitting a few days, you need to get a little fuel into the combustion chambers before it'll kick start easily. So you squirt a little fuel in with the carburetor, kick the engine over a few times with the ignition off to pull the fuel through, then turn the ignition on and kick again. Bike should go vroom. If it starts the first time with the ignition live, in my opinion, it's a 1 kick bike. Some will disagree.

I have an Ironhead with a Super E, and it needs priming kicks from cold. The CV40 it used to have was first kick though.

Screw the haters. It takes less than a minute to start, so it's all good. You obviously know what works for your bike. My 70's honda starts on a single kick, my morini doesn't. I couldn't care less. They both fire up and make me happy. Ride whatever you like. I'd love a shovelhead but they're way expensive over here. Love to watch these videos though.

It's a shovelhead so what can you say they don't know I had a 10 kicks overhead one time put my silver head I ride now when I can get her to start might be a two or three-hour kick shovelhead so if you're still starts in under 10 kicks you got something great to enjoy the ride stay in the wind bro

Different bikes have different starting procedures. So you have to prime kick your bike a few times and then the first time you kick it live it fires off. Seems like you know your bike better than anybody. the hell with what other people think
