chevy913 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 Kick started fine then decided to ditch the j arm and go to a arm now it won't kick start but will start when pushed and dropping the clutch. Any ideas? Quote

Any ideas? Could just be a coincidence, but do a compression check. Sounds like you've got low compression. Do a leakdown test as well, and see if you've got any significant air leaks keeping it from starting. Quote
old put-put Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 I don't know much about the conversion but if you did any welding on the frame when doing the conversion did you unplug the electronics like stator, cdi, coil if not you could have damaged them when welding on the frame. Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 does it pop start? if you have stock carbs make sure tube between the 2 carbs is connected good. pull choke out and hold it there with hand while kicking Quote
Dicklez Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Did you reinstall the flux capacitor that is in the J-arms?? Quote
banshee-bahrain Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 I had the same problem, and i was shocked, coz when i checked everything, i had a broken clutch and broken cluttch case.. i changed them and it worked fine with me ... Quote
chevy913 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 It has fresh gas fresh plugs. Seems to be getting weak spark? Quote
chevy913 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 Also after you bump start it you can kick start it but when its cold it won't kick start at all. Quote
