Engine rebuild, what's gone wrong?

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
Always possible you haven't got the return spring quite right

Jimbo550:
All fixed.  Not quite sure what the problem was but I took the kickstart assembly out, examined it closely and couldn't find any problems. I reassembled it taking my time and it felt better when it went back. Fired her up and she sounds lovely.   I can confirm that it is possible to take the kickstart shaft out by accessing the circlip from the sump with a pair of bent nose circlip pliers. It's a little more difficult replacing it but it can be done.  Thanks for your advice.
