Cold-starting procedure explained on a Matchless Model X which always starts first kick until you get a video camera on it of course. This is a one-take video, we could very easily have had a few practice runs and shown it starting first time, which it does, but this might be useful for your first attempts and it shows what to do when you forget to do things first time or if it doesn't go first kick. Similar procedure on most old British twins. Enjoy the bike Mark. With compliments, Classic Bike Workshop and Classic Super Bikes
