    Starting issue after build

    OK, after writing all that down, I had a thought, if the bike is trying to start with no choke but the carb circuit isn't over rich (i know the xs360 carbs run rich but not so they wont run...) as it's just set up stock it must be firing in the wrong part of the stroke, it it smelt rich and...

I also...
