Yeah this is what i figured. I can double check, but I cant think of any way that they would. I'll also do a quick check for resistance on them. Currently this gonzo is the only recently functioning box that I have. Wish I had a known good one for testing. Edit: nothing looks pinched

I finally got around to working on the bike. Dont remember exactly what I did beyond oil up each individual clutch plate and reassemble, but the kickstart is now turning the engine over; however, I am getting nasty kick back and can not get the bike going. sometimes ill get a spark, but it wont...

what could cause the main shaft to go into a bind during that install?

The lower drag clip is in its slot, however I went back and reinstalled it using your method. I’m back at the same place, but it was way easier than fighting the spring!

Nothing too unusual. I had trouble finding the split in the bushing so I got under it on one side and bent it upwards until I could grip it with some needle nose pliers and popped it out. Wasn’t difficult to get the new one in either.

yes it does engage and spring back out. The idler will not turn at all though

Definitely not confident with the kickstart. Struggled with it for a while yesterday trying to fix it and figured I had got it, case went on flush with no problem, but still locked Video

Yep thats correct. I just removed the two piece pushrod and one of the ball bearings and replaced it with a one piece pushrod as well as the bushing and oil seal and the release assembly. Just confirmed that the front sprocket spins freely in neutral... is this the same as independently?

Its an 83sk. Ill check to make sure the front sprocket spins freely now and will report back.

The bike is in neutral. Last thing that I checked last night was putting the bike on the jack in gear and seeing if the rear wheel would spin freely... it would not. Is the countershaft the gear that the kickstart engages to turn over the engine?

So I finally got around to replacing the pushrod seal and the pushrod with a 1 piece as well as the clutch advance assembly. Well, my kickstart is locked up. Cant get it to move, its acting as though the bike is in gear. so far this is what I have tried to troubleshoot 1. Put the old pushrod...

Oh my parts collection is slowly eating all the space in my spare room. I can’t get myself to throw out the remnants of the wiring harness let alone a TCI. I’ve got two that aren’t working. First was fried when welding and this second one has been unreliable for the past week or so and finally...

I’m thinking of wiring a few of the 1.3s for the time being. I want to switch to a pamco as well this winter. Got the bike started. The TCI went out! Guess I’m on the gonzo train for the time being. Good enough to get me home before checking the timing

Another update: I’ve been running a 1.3ah battery with a switch for my headlight and an LED strip taillight. I grabbed a multimeter today and my battery was reading 10.25!! Huge weight off my shoulders. Charging it up now and hopefully it’ll start right up. A little weirded out if that was the...

Went back and double checked all my connections. Nothing seemed out of place. Power from battery to fuse box, fuse box out to ignition, alternator and rectifier, coil and pickups, TCI all connected properly and still no spark. My taillight comes on when I turn the switch so it’s not the main...

I'm no longer running the factory kill switch controls or nothing. I checked the connections from the battery to the fuse box to the ignition system. The TCI is still wired up, the coil is still connected, and the pickups are still connected. I tried replacing the ignition fuse and that didn't...

So the worst happened. Someone pulled out of the drive through right in front of my. I swerved out of the way and in the process clipped a curb with my exhaust on the right side. The whole thing is dented pretty badly on itself and the bike died right there. I am entirely okay though. Kick...

Good to know. I’m replacing the oil seal, bushing and pushrod while I’m down there because the tiny leak that it had when I bought it has grown into a small puddle every time I ride 🙄

Is there maybe an updated metal replacement part for this? Plastic doesn’t seem like the best way to go

Well……
