Kick start mechanism
« on: February 16, 2014, 09:29:00 PM »
I've nearly finished my hydraulic clutch conversion, but its going to mean the kick start lever will not fold flat without mods.

I've seen blanking plugs for when the lever is left off, but thought, why not remove the entire mechanism when I build the motor into new cases and go electric start only. I did originally think of going kick only and this is a 180 degree about turn....

Question is does the kick start gear do anything else? e.g. drive the oil pump, I know I'll find out when I strip the engine, but prior to that I would like to mod the clutch cover, to blank the kick starter shaft, and how I do it depends on what I need to leave inside.
