    Pete/5twins, thanks for the detailed replies. It helped a lot. I’ll move forward with the build then.

    Electric starter engages sporadically & kick start not rotating engine *help*

    Ok electric starter issue.... I now have installed the new MikesXS starter gear with the old OEM (“stronger”) clip, and the old OEM spring. I compressed the tang on the vice to get close to 10 lbs of rotational drag on the clip. I’m getting about 6.5 lbs during most of the rotation around the...

    Electric starter engages sporadically & kick start not rotating engine *help*

    Hi guys I have two problems with my starting system. 1. The electric starter is not engaging properly to allow the engine to continue rotating as it tries to start. The times that the starter engages, the engine rotates but then gets disengaged quickly after and you can hear the starter gear...
