Been there, done that. Mine was a '63 FL. When I was riding it 
regularly and everything was just right, I'd give it one priming kick 
and one with the switch on, and it'd fire right up. Impressed 
bystanders. If I let it sit more than a few days, it'd get really 
cranky! I've worn myself to sweat-drenched exhaustion and ended up 
pushing it down a hill. If I didn't use at least third gear, it'd slide 
to a stop when I let out the clutch and I'd really cuss in despair. If 
someone tried it who forgot to retard the spark with the left handgrip, 
it'd launch 'em moonward. My brother got the heel kicked off of one of 
his shoes that way.
