kick starter jammed
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2020 6:13 am
Hey guys, I am new to this forum.
HOpefully someone will respond to my issue.
I bought a 1972 T500 which ran two years ago. However for whatever reason the kickstarter is stuck.
I am unable to turn to engine over when I put it in gear and try to turn the rear wheel.
I pulled the heads and pistons and crank are freely moving when I turn crankshaft nut behind ignition cover.
never any issues although I did a lot of kicking because I had gas issues (feet and leg got sore eventually).
I hope I do not have to pull the engine and open the case.
thanks for any tips and tricks.
