For inclusion in a novel I would be grateful for the following information
Anyone know the starting procedure.
I am assuming:
•Turning on petrol tap under tank.
•Tickling the carb.
•1/4 throttle
•Kick start.
Questions;
•Did they have a key ignition?
•Was there a choke? (I presume there was one, was it on the right or left-hand side of the handlebars?)
•Am I missing something else?
Ta, qwerty.

- Were there any quirks or foibles associated with the starting procedure that I could use for
