What was the lever you clicked @ 0.8 on the left hand side down below the gas gauge?

[@Putt-Putt-Vroom]

I put a dellorto 15:15 carb on it with mlm intake adapter. The little lever was the choke (flip it down to turn on for starting) then when you twist the trottle it will click the choke off.

How does yours just start like that? Did you mod it to do that? The oem honda express you have to kick the kickstarter to wind it up then squeeze the left break

Hello Joe, Its all stock except a MLM dellorto 15:15 carb and adapter. The 2 speed engine for 81 and up is kickstart (no spring) the prior versions with white cover (1 speed varient) has the kickstart spring from 1980 to 70s expresses. I have seen people do kickstart conversions on the earlier spring models once the springs breaks.

@@Putt-Putt-Vroom I have a 78 express and and a 1980 express 2. Both mint and factory. All for mine you have to kick it to wind it up then squeeze the left break. Not a fan of that dirtbike style kick starter on the mopeds. The wind up chain kick starter adds more character and is better

To each their own :) I prefer the kickstart but do like the wind up start which is unique and quirky :)
