The washer might still be on the shaft end inside with the bigger spring?
Pretty sure you can wiggle them off with a bit of patience - a magnet on a telescopic shaft might help.
Can't see a problem in using it without the kick start mech in place - you could take the lever off to reduce weight etc.
Yeah found it stuck to the pinion gear. But all back together now with new circlip. Works again 😄 Thanks again, help as always immensely appreciated 👍

I would make sure you have all the washers as well. One might be in the ratchet end

Yeah, Def a problem here as I'm missing the slotted thrust washer between the pinion spring and ratchet. Gonna chech my assembly pics but was sure I did this correct.

Circlip has come off Juitz,l as you suspected when I was telling Ted to make sure to fit a new one.
Yep, confirmed.Found these treasures in the bottom of the sump This is sub-optimal. Aside from the pain in trying to get the assembly back in without removing the engine. Can I just leave it as is and only use electric start. This feels like a "next winter" job [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

The one right on the end of the shaft Ted, they get stretched removing them and then reused and then they just fall into the sump and you get people asking "Why does my kickstart no longer work".
This feels very familiar......was planning on removing sump this weekend so will check this is the case. Hope I can add "lessons learnt" to this thread Ted

Cheers, Oddjob, suggestions have got me to a semi decent running condition. Bit more to do though but at least it idles at just under 1.5krpm and starts straight away. 👍
I think I may have a problem and hope it's not a major one.
I've been adjusting the clutch position and moved the kickstart lever out of the way. This morning I tried the kickstart and worked straight away.
But just now after working on the clutch I tried again and heard a little click. Now the kickstart just spins.
Has something come undone / off and do I need to worry and break open the engine?
The lever spring returns the lever but it won't crank.the engine - I can only feel the return spring.
Checked the clutch and it looks to engage/disengage. The rear wheel spins in 1st gear but I can stop it with my foot when I disengage the clutch.The kickstart is supposed to work with the bike in N and clutch engaged.

Oh its fun doing this 😀
Ok, so please don't bash me too much but I'm trying to tune my bike with a 4into1 delkevic system and a steel dragon airbox. Unfortunately I found out too late that best option is to keep the stock airbox, but too late now.
Anyway, bench syncd the carbs using a 3mm drill bit (don't have 1/8"), aftermarket 42 slow and 110 main after reading some threads as a starting point. Kept original needle and emulsion tubes.
Moved the needles from 4th to 2nd from bottom as exhaust was coming out black so too rich?
Also installed a digital ignition system from 4into1.com - will keep the Hondaman system for the next build 😉
Have done static set of the difital ignition, and vac syncd bike using carb#1 as master.
Have tried 1/2 turn to 2 turns on mix screw without much success.
Bike struggles to idle below 1.5krpm. Revs crisply but a bit slow to return idle.
With current settings, bike won't idle below 2krpm when warm and with idle screw fully out.
Any suggestions for next steps?

Put the aux tank at the same height as the normal tank, no leaks or overflowing so far! 😀

You could use let petrol and don’t have it so high in the aux tank, just reduce the head. Weight so to speak? Might be squeezing it passed the valve???

Lots of swearing today Roo! But yes, great suggestion as I've got a lot head pressure as.the aux tank is really high up. I'll try it with it closer to where the actual tank is supposed to be I'll add some hose to those other 2 overflow pipes as well.

Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a great long weekend so far.
I'm onto the carb tuning now, but was wondering what these two ports are for?
Also, I'm using an aux tank but my carbs overflow. I've taken them apart about 3 times to check the float heights and they're all at around 22+/-1mm. The height is set with the carb asst on its side and they are barely touching the valve.
I'll check that all the passage ways a clear again.
Any other tips?

I'm putting my hand up, and declaring that I'm an idiot. Black wire had a case of open circuit-itis. All running so now onto tuning timing and carbs.

They're called 'king and queen seats' but when you read that just say 'shite' out loud. You should be able to bob a standard seat on that no problems providing the catch etc hasn't been knackered fitting that eye sore?
Cheers all. My finger is creeping closer to the Buy button. Im being superficial but in my opinion, the 500s are nicer to look at.

Can’t find the wiring diagram but looking at it, the blue goes to the blue bullet connector coming up from the points, same for yellow. The purple goes to the blue coming down from the coils and the orange to the yellow. Black to the brake light switch and don’t forget the green must be earthed on the points plate.
Green wire - wonder if this is my mistake as I earthed it to frame and didnt run it to the points plate. I will try this tomorrow 👍

You sure you wired the Hondaman unit up correctly?
Probably not! 😂 I'll go through the connections again but had the missus double check the colours on wiring as I'm colour blind. This is what was going to the points. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Yeah that’s right, sorry I thought you were going kickstart only for some mad reason when I typed that. Even after you asking about solenoid etc!
Sorry, brain fart!
What switches are you using Dave?

Using Motone button switches on this build. So, bypassed the Hondaman unit and bike fires up! Doesn't idle though so bit of tuning required.

Not a great diagram for what Dave doing,the revivalone is by far the easiest and simplist to follow.
Dave are you just using the key to stop the engine then?
Apparently, double tap of the start button is supposed to be the "kill" switch of the m-unit. Can't test this though 😉
