push start only - wont kick start

thanks larry. im pretty certain that there was no washer there when i open it up, but ill have a good look around just in case.

 

As for the washer itself ive got one which is almost exactly the same size as the stock brass one, BUT its not brass-instead zinc. would this be alright to use instead of getting another stock one becasue unfortunately i dont have anybody with another basnhee, and i dont want to pay $25 AUS dollars to order another washer from the yamaha dealer.

Closer to same thickness the better. Zinc should be ok. Do ALL you can to get one , even slight difference in thickness ( .005 in) will

cause problem 1/2 - 3/4 throttle because tapered needle drop down into main jet. Look for dead bikes in backyards , motorcycle salvage yards ,etc. Good luck.
