    What about a 'start up' vid? Your son films you approaching the Norton cold (hand on exhaust header), then you slowly explain each step in getting it running.

    I may be wrong, but I'm under the impression it's a little more involved than turning the key and pushing the button like on our UJMs.
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        Wow...very impressive! Sounds great.

        So the 'enricher' is equivalent to a choke?

          A choke raises the ratio of fuel vs air by choking off the air via the butterfly. An enrichener gives the engine more fuel without restricting the air. I think from a standpoint of cold starting the enrichener is sort of like a shot of starting fluid. It really makes a difference.
