Kickstart ratchet??

(1/1)

Jimbo550:
Hi. I've just but the bottom end crank cases back together all bolted up, selector shaft is in and now trying that all gears select correctly before I carry on. As I turn the main shaft by hand in the correct direction I hear the kickstart ratchet. In the other direction the main shaft is locked.  What have I done wrong?

Jimbo550:
Don't panic i,ve sorted the problem.  Got the kick start ratchet 180 deg out.  Thankfully i could dismantle and reasemble from the bottom without splitting the cases.

Bryanj:
Before you go any further make sure that the leg on the mechanism is in the slot in the crankcase where it is supposed to go!!!

Jimbo550:
The leg is in the slot.  I just had the ratchet 180 degrees out.  all working fine now.
