It has to because I fitted a cover over the end of the kickstart shaft so it can't be used.
That's all very good, but not everyone is fit enough to bump start her if the battery goes flat. We can't all be fine specimens of manly physique like you Al.
Never needed to. Just hit the button and away she goes. At a fit 68 I don't do bump starts any more!
More pics in the thread soon when I get the 'new' engine in after the crank rebuild.
Outer right seal went awol, and during crankcases split, found the gearbox bearings were shot.
Fortunately I had/have spare engines, so fitting a new box was easier than sourcing new bearings.
Should get the motor back this week.
Motobatt is charged and ready for action.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
