Don't hold the lever in as you kick. It is designed to get you just past TDC on the compression stroke. Try this:
1. pull in decomp lever (it should stay down)
2. slowly move kick start down. STOP as soon as the decomp lever pops up.
3. return kick starter to the top of the stroke.
4. kick smoothly all the way to the bottom. (takes very little effort)
5. no start? return to step 1.
If it still problem try check the adjustment on the decomp lever. The lever should stay down
until you rotate the engine with the kick start to just past TDC on the
compression stroke.
