No the motor hasn’t been rephrased just built with new pistons and rings. Ya i put my biggest boots on ( mountaineering boots) and kick the shit out of it and it kicked back (hurt worse). From there yes, i rotated the engine by hand CCW with no problem.So, let's get more specific: does the kicker stop hard at horizontal [well before it hits footpeg (assuming you have stock footpeg)]? Once that happens, can the motor continue to roll CCW by hand, or what happens?
Has motor been rephrased?
Yes the engine kicks through nice with ignition off. I’m about to put a starter back in this thing,hahaCan you kick it through, with the ignition switched off?
Who’s gonna tell me to quite being a sissy and kick it like a man?
So kick back… try to retard the timing??
