Hotrod9193, thank you for the response... I did a complete nut and bolt restoration, and it feels like every time I do something, something else needs work... I'm at the point of burning it... The motor is out now... I resplit the case double checked the forks and gear position, did shift star mod, the transmission cycled through all the gears with a couple of half shifts, probably due to my hand not feeding the shaft correctly... Then reassembled this evening leaving the transmission in neutral until the motor is back in...
