u dont even know what is wrong with it and your telling him what to buy. wtf

for starters are you confident at disassembling the engine to have a look?
you might even have to split the case depending on the engine.

if you can do this then, go for it and have a look.

if not i advise you give it into a shop to look at and fix the problem

worst advice ever.

youll have broken kick starter gears and/or broken/cracked right hand center case..

youll need to pull the right hand side of the engine apart to see.

 

[maco_star3]

thanks for everyones advice i think its best i just take it down to the shop

gday mate, watch this, it will give you an idea on how hard or easy it is for you.
As long as you havent cracked the cases like sean said, its actually quite easy.
But this video will give you a rough idea and you will be able to compare it to your mechanical skills

lol. I had to swap them out in the motel room, at midnight, last weekend. After the second one on the back of the basket spit teeth, I left the idler out and bumped it. Still the weakest link in the Chinese motors, as far as I'm concerned.
