[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1366575, member: 104942"] There is a return spring on that kickstarter that is pretty substantial, its hard to imagine wearing that one out. There is another spring in there that holds the engagement teeth dogs in, that one does wear, but that would make the kickstarter want to slip out of engagement when you kick it, not keep the kick starter from returning or let it flop down. I think your problem may related to how that kick starter gear assembly is assembled. That return spring has to be seated in a slot in a little nylon collar, which sits inside the spring, and the spring then anchors into a hole in the case. Its a fussy little setup when you are trying to re-assemble it unless you have three hands, so it's easy for that collar to creep out, or the spring to pop out of the anchor point, etc. Even correctly assembled, my spring somehow got a coil over some other coil wrong, and it would click and bind when I tried to kick it over. That stater spur gear has it's own fussy little stack of washers also, so you could get those on there wrong. And the manual isn't very clear about which goes were, to straighten out everything my previous owner had done I was sitting there with a print out of the parts pages and a micrometer trying to decipher which of the factor washers where which sizes... If you have any of those little parts in wrong, the kick starter will bind up when you tighten down that inner clutch cover. [/QUOTE]
