I just picked up a non-running CL last Monday but not having any luck getting it started yet. Carbs were rebuilt prior to storage, plugs are new, and the oil is fresh too but just doesn't want to start with the kickstart. I'm gonna throw in a battery and try the electric start since kicking it isn't getting me anywhere. Hopefully I can figure something out and have it running by the time the event comes around on the 19th!
