The kick start goes through aproximately 120 deg sweep.
The transmission ratio (1:2.54) is making the clutch turn .64 turns/kick, which makes the engine sprocket turn 1.28 times/kick.
The crank/oil pump ratio is 2.3 (crank ) to 1 oil pump
1.8 kicks turn the pump once for a volume of .448 CI
246 kicks for a liter.
hope you pulled the plugs or hold the "compression release" for kicking
OR
pull the drain plug.
