M.
Kick
Starter
1. Check the ratchet teeth on the kick gear
and ratchet
wheel. The mating edges
should
fit
flush against each other.
If
there
is
severe rounding
off,
replace
as
a
set.
2. Check
to
see
that
the kick gear spins
freely on the kick axle. If
not,
replace
either or both
as
required. Replace
if
any
signs
of
galling are
found.
3. Check
to
see
that
the
ratchet wheel
(splined) slides freely
on the kick axle.
Check
for
burrs
or
other damage.
Re-
place
as
required.
4. Check
axle and wheel splines for wear.
The ratchet
wheel
is
a fairly loose fit on
splines. However,
if
the
wheel
is
so
loose it catches on
the
shaft keeping
the
ratchet wheel spring
from
forcing
it
out,
replace the wheel.
5.
Check
the
ratchet wheel spring
for
fatigue.
If
the free length shows the spr-
ing has
collapsed beyond specification,
replace
the
spring.

6. When reassembling the kick starter,
align the mark on the ratchet ... heel
with
the one on the kick axle
as
shown.
