The 850 motor is built in the offset crank 270 degree configuration. It runs, it idles, it makes power just like it should.
The compression reads 125 lbs per cylinder, nothing excessive, yet the engine is a beast to kickstart.posting.php?mode=post&f=1#
I am running an RGM beltdrive which gears up the ratio a small amount and I suspect it may be part of the problem
We are talking a 170 lb man leaping off a second storey building trying to get up enough speed to depress the kickstarter. It is that difficult.
Any theories why it is so hard to start?
