[bikercc]

hey guys, im rebuilding a warrior, i dont have a starter solenoid or wiring haress or cdi yet or anything, but i have the engine and frame and everything else, and when i pull the pull start it turns the starter, and its really hard to turn over cus the starter is grabbing, is this supposed to be like this or what?? is there something broken or is it because i have no solenoid.... let me know asap THANKS

There should be a decompression lever on the left side of the cylinder head. (I think it's on the left side anyway)
