Hunting Harleys, Todd demonstrates how to start a Knuckle and how to clear how the carb...

Operator error happens. So pay attention to how I cleared out the carb when I forgot to take the choke off!

Guy showed up at the bar with a 42 knuckle yesterday. He’s has it since high school. Mostly original. Started it 1 kick, twice. I’m still trying to get my shovel to start 1 kick every time. I’m just a youngin tryin to get my learnins in!!! Thanks for the videos 😎🤘

[@BikesNThings]

I wouldn’t even know where to start with starting one of these real old school harleys and I’ve been riding bikes my whole life. Thanks for this. Very informative

[@stephenhickey1709]

Hi Todd great to see you looking so well..your eyesight seems to have improved and your articulation in this vid is clear with no brain fog..keep them coming..

@hunting harleys I had been watching you for about a year before I bought my first bike, a 2000 xl1200. I know she is a little younger than you are interested in, but I have to say that I knew that they had to warm up, but I started using your technique of feeling the heat work it’s way through the cylinders with my hand from you. Seeing you touching and palming the cylinders while they warm up, and imitating that, really helped me learn my bike and her quirks. Awesome videos my dude!

Wicked cool Todd, thanks for the demo. I run a Mikuni 42 flat side on my 02 Train and although starting the motorcycle has come a long way, she certainly has her own way of talking to me here in New England throughout the seasons. Long live the venturi controlled fuel leak

[@chopperchopster]

right on. uber cool. I have found with my bikes that none of them are exactly alike. They all have little differences in how they start.

[@dennyringgenberg5288]

Love your videos Todd. I just recently discovered your channel and I have been loving watching all your stuff. You rule brother

[@ronlind1757]

[@boppin_bennie]

So when you're talking about cracking the head before it warms up you're referring to the knuckle being a cast iron head, in 48 when they switched to aluminum heads they aren't as prone to cracking as the older iron heads correct ? ...

[@HuntingHarleys]

Yes

[@franksterk5434]

I do it different Todd and starts always by me kick it 3 times and shove on then choke off and 1 klick on the choke and restart half way and start that’s the way I think

[@PC24800]

She is gorgeous. I wish I still had one of my knuckles

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Beautiful bike. What a bike in that condition worth?

[@HuntingHarleys]

To many factors. Year, condition, originality, does it have its original paint or not

[@user-io3iq1ve3d]

[@jasongardner4870]

[@smokewalker6885]

Fuck you're Awesome Todd!!! Enough said!

[@howdy627]

My grandpa hurt his knee on the the sprocket, and he wasn't able to kick it no more, dam dirt roads back then .

[@user-io3iq1ve3d]

Эти Харлей Дэвидсоны так сами плохо заводятся или что то не так у этого мотоцикла?А так мотоцикл очень хороший👍🤘🔧🔩⚙️

[@johncraveiro2054]

They way I start, is full choke,, kick over 3 times with full throttle on. Then put half throttle, turn key on,,open1/4 throttle open,,kick over,,first kick,, will start up,and keep running ..

[@HuntingHarleys]

Each machine in each environment starts differently

[@hotwheel6663]

Todd look like he trimin' down must be back at the home gym?

[@herrynugraha3172]

[@markie698]

[@KeithSage]

It was because you had no whiskers ..

[@dashriprok5852]

Sewing machine.

[@bigrobnz]

everyone knows a bike will never start if you point a camera at it......

[@ChitownRon]

Thank God for electric start and fuel injection.

[@ThrottleResponse]

electric start, very yes. I can get along fine without fuel injection though.
