Since we don't have a compression release and it isn't easy to fit one, try rolling the bike backwards in gear up to compression before kicking. That's how I used to start my ES2 fifty years ago, at age 12. It had a release but no cable to make it work. I didn't have funds for a new cable Rolling backwards first gives you all available roll space before hitting compression on the kicker. It means you don't have to jump on it quite so hard and it also means that the engine will roll thru. They also tend to start in one kick this way.Hope it helps.Glen
