    My guess is, choke the heck out of it. Then pop the plug to see that your getting good fuel flow to the plug. Dry it off and replace. Adjusting valves usually makes starting easyer. Also adjusting your carb might help.

    yea ok so i choke it all the way and it dont even pop (the motor is warm by the way) and then i take the choke all the way off and it pops and kicks back. how hard is it to adjust valves or would it be better to take it to someone who knows what there doin ?>
