kick starter spring

[aaamoto777]

hello,im having trouble installing the kick start spring. i split the cases to replace the shift drum. i forgot how it goes back on. would anyone be able to help. does anyone have any photo guides or anything on a rebuild guide?

you need to preload the spring, and without checking it myself i think it goes clockwise then hooks onto the case..

Ok, thanks. does the spring go on the left or right crankcase body?

 

[sean01]

again without checking it im pretty sure the spring locks against the left side. from memory too the spring setup is different on some engines...

its not something i lock into my mind when doing an engine, do enough of them and you can just about do it in your sleep..
