buy the rebuild kit and if it doesn't go get a thicker O ring.

When you get the kick-start rebuild kit, buy a 2nd identical o-ring to the one in the kit. Put a small low-tension spring on the top of the kicker post and double up the o-ring on the bottom and rebuild it this way. The spring keeps tention against the kicker and prevents it from rattling, the 2nd o-ring seals up the gap that's created at the bottom of the kick-starter when you install the spring.
