    When your kicking it over are you giving it a little throttle when your kicking?

    When you kick it over, give it gas this time. The idle could be set too low. Don't be surprised if it roars to life like a screaming gorilla

    but it seems that the kick start does not give it enough rotations for the motor..i check for spark and it had a big blue spark so i know that is good..the 82 200 has pull start i need got to them yet that is my next project ..first i want to get this one running and no one around will work on them

    Get a new spark plug . Buy an NGK . It probably sat so long that its lacking in compression (sticky or stuck rings) you might need to pull or push start it to get it fired up and once it warms up all might be good .

    Put it in 2nd gear and try bumping it from about a jogging pace.

    My 200x from a full kick only turns over about 2 times btw.
