When I was younger and stronger, 3 kicks. Sometimes, it still is. But I thought it right to share the cantankerous side of cold kick starting a 1000 Vincent.
Well, it did start! But you really should look into the correct starting procedure, it will make starting much easier, just look up stating the Vincent. Good luck! Chris B.
Thanks, Chris. There are more "correct " cold starting procedures listed on the VOC forum than I have fingers and toes. This video happens to show probably the most stubborn cold start I have had with a Vincent twin. But the truth is the truth, and sometimes they can be a pig to start. But oh my gosh, what a glorious thing once you have lift off!
