_Kickstart
shaft hitting the clutch plate.
_The
kickstart shaft, hitting the clutch plate is a common problem.
_
_Reasons
I found for this problem:
_a.
Some original side case gaskets were designed thicker.
_b.
The kickstart shaft washer, maybe damaged are missing.
_c.
Aftermarket kickstart shafts.
_Here’s
the steps I take when I see marks on the kickstart shaft:
_1.
Check to see if the kickstart shaft washer is installed
correctly.
___If
you see a gap at this point. That’s a problem.
_
_What
happens is, the pedal spring tries to push out the kickstart
shaft, causing the gap.
_2.
There should be a circlip and washer here.
_
_3.
If the circlip and washer don’t close the gap, you may
___need
to add additional washers here.
_
_After
the steps above are taken.
_Use
a marker, and paint the top clutch plate. Put the gasket and
side case on
_with
a few nuts and tighten them down. Take out the spark plug.
Then, kick the motor
_over
several times. If it rubs, it will show up on the black clutch
plate, and kickstart shaft.

_Here’s
the number one problem, most of the time. A poor made
kickstart shaft:
_If
you replace your kickstart shaft with an aftermarket shaft.
It will most likely rub,
_unless
you modify it.
_Before
you do the modification below.
_Check
for a good aftermarket kickstart shaft from one of the many,
scooter shops.
_Here’s
an example of a kickstart shaft I modified, using a basic
grinder.
_This
will fix the problem and shouldn’t weaken the shaft,
if done correctly.
_
_Steps
to take when grinding the kickstart shaft:
_1.
This area on the shaft, is all you need to modify.
_
_2.
This side view shows the depth to grind.
___As
you can see. You don’t touch the core (strength) part
of the kickstart shaft.
_
_3.
Never grind down to the main shaft rod!
_
_I
hope this tutorial helps. Because I keep coming across, poorly
made
_kickstart
shafts, that need to be modify.
