Back in the day (I love saying that) I would push the kick starter down slowly till I got resistance then jump up with the free leg and push all my body weight onto the kick starter while opening the throttle a bit. A small prayer at this time will not hurt. It helps if you have a couple of friends around to offer encouragement and to take turns kicking when you run out of strength. Good Luck!
