Ah, not just me then
As I said above, it's no biggie, but it would be good to find a way to make starting the bike easier. It's a bit of a fiddle at the moment. When I get some free time I am going to go into it a bit more. If I find anything useful, I will post it here.
Kev, thanks for the update. I assume no easy fix, then?
I'm going to give it a good flush out with contact cleaner, just in case there is any muck in there, and then see what I can do. It might just be that I haven't rediscovered the knack yet.
