Hmmmm, don't you getlikean initial roll, then itlocks-up? Those lowergears -causing the engine to spin muchfaster- probably spinthe ACR fast enough toclose the exhaust valve.Otherwise the high compession alone shouldn't be a factor....interesting...to me that is[8D]

 

Are you suresure centrifugal force is the issue here? I rememberthat lowering a kick start leverwhile the engine was running used to cause the same ratcheting noise you speak of, andbringing the lever all the way up made the noise go away.Looking at the ratchet, there appears to be aland on the cone shaped side that mightserve to cam theratchet apart once the kick lever is all the way up. Can the ratchet be installed in more than one postion?...or maybe thespring you speak ofisn't rotating theshaftfar enough clockwise toallow the ratchet to be cammed-out.

In any case, your answer will be educational for me[8D]

Cool!

I'd definitely like to tear one apart and see how it ticks. Looking at the drawing, I just cant see how centrifugal force would bring the ratchet apart, unless the splines are helical. I must be missing something.

 

That's what I put it down to, could be wrong

 

wait is this your notice that it works and all is good? ifsoo i NEED pics[sm=Flahssssss.gif]

 

you could just put a charger cable onto your bike. and then just get a charger and plug it into the wall a cheaper way atil works. just a thought.

 

Nice job Finger mullet, I think your the first to have added the kickstart!!

Very cool man.. Here' s to NEVER having to use it!!!![sm=partyparty.gif]

 

+1 to that! Major props! You are definitely a trail blazer.

 

we need a tech write-up with pics...hint hint
