'67 xlh, mag, cv, 10:1, andrews cams

cold:
-retard mag
-5 squirts
-enricher on full
-kick 3-4 times until puff of smoke from carb
-2 squirts
-bring #1 to comp stroke and kick it like ya mean it

if the mag advances, limp around cussing while your ankle swells

warm: retard mag, bring to compression, one squirt and kick.

warm or cold, if there's a hot girl within sight, add "kick 45 times" and "pick self up from in front of the bike after it kicks back"

The four Linkert bikes I've owned:

-Key off
-Retard
-Three kicks at full choke
-Compression stroke
-1/3 advance
-Key on
-Kick
-Bike starts

If it doesn't work that way, the timing is off of the valves are too tight. Often the latter, I've found.
