Sometimes, even a weak but not dead battery will not start an LC4. Many times I've encountered an LC4 that will turn over for quite a while with the starter, but it's not enough to get it to light off. The kick starter can be much more effective than a weak battery (if you know the 4 stroke starting drill) in starting an ornery LC4.
