[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1361627, member: 104942"] Funny you should mention oil... I greased all the parts that I was supposed to pre-grease putting it back together... but as noted in another thread, I kept screwing up the kick start assembly. Between all those little washers, and that plastic collar, I kept getting some part in the wrong place or aligned wrong. So I took it apart and reassembled it a couple times, cleaning the goo off as I did it just so I could hold parts. When I finally put it together and got it right, I must have removed too much of that lube. Because the first time the bike fired up, it ran for about 3/4 of a second then stopped, with a whack from the kickstarter. It had friction welded that shaft (which had threads already stripped from a previous owner, and that I welded up and re-tapped) to the idler wheel. :( So I did what any of you would do, I pounded the shaft out (it was only lightly friction welded ;) ) and got out the valve grinding compound, chucked that shaft in the drill press, and re-machined the shaft and the idler wheel back into a plane bearing again. :) It's holding up so far... but I'm keeping my eyes open on ebay for a deal if it seizes up again. Oh, and I forgot on the previous list of "issues" that the crank seal had been leaking for quite a while, and the stator had dissolved as well (the secondary lighting coil, the coil to run the motor was still fine)...
