Re: Kick starting technique
Both chokes up, kick/jab it like you would a two stroke. Dont even bother hunting for TDC Repeat (if your carbs are out of balance) Warm it up by switching off one choke at a time/juggling them to reduce revs, so it doesnt rev its nuts off from cold, and warm each cylinder up.

Re: Tarozzi brake arm repair/replace

If you look at his posting, I did suggest a few places that lazer-cut alloy motorbike parts. The Artesiani rearsets y...

Yes the earlier crank-nut was a 'normal' hex-shape but so slim it is very hard to keep a socket on it, when applying the necessary brute-force and ignorance.
