when its cold with the kicker i just pump it twice then top dead- and kick it -- fires right up-----

when its hot----

top dead--- kick it and on the way down towards the bottom just barely touch the throttle-----

fires right up even when hot!!!!!--

and as soon as i get a chance with a digital camera i will take some pics---- i still have to finish cleaning up the frame with my DREMEl tool---- when im back from red bud ill post em up!!!

my sponsor PERFORMANCE HONDA of new martinsville- wv--- put the kit in for me labor free--- and gave me a really good deal on the parts--- they put the kicker gears and shaft in and i completed everything else====== it was a lil above 400 in parts--- but at least i didnt make the mistake of buying new plastic like i have seen others doo---

Posted by: MINOR250R

thanks
that is great info i hope it works for me as well
is there any way to add a hot start to the electric start to help it out any

again thanks

i dont think so without switching to a r model carb or modifying the carb--- i saw a baldwin built 07 450er converted to a r and he did not even have a hotstart because the er carb---- i am going to research it a lil bit though and see what i can come up with though--( maybe i can come up with something to work with the baldwin hot start cable from a 05??)

Posted by: MINOR250R

that would be great i did not think you could i believe the place to put it is blocked off

anyway if you find anything else out that would be great
my main concern is on a hill if you stall trying to hold the clutch hold the front brake then give a little bit of throttle while kicking (mine is hard because i run a twist throttle )

thanks jeremy

what did you do to the electrical system? because as far as i know you cant touch the trottle when you start it, it has that saftey feture. even if you dicontect and and jump the wires at the carb it still wont fire if your touching the trottle.

Posted by: Jem450ER

I was told not to touch the throttle, not because of a safety feature, but because of the accelorater pump on it. It's already feeding the fuel to the carb/motor and if you give it gas it floods it...But that's just what i heard from a guy, would like to know which it is...

There was a post on here a little while back that had all the part numbers needed to do this. I went to servicehonda and entered all the numbers (21 part numbers, 23 parts) and came up with a total of $366.16.
I saved my cart if you would like to see it.
