rattling kick start

[rippinciao]

OK,I bought a kick starter rebuild for a couple bucks. Comes with new a new screw,o-ring and ball. It worked mint ,but for only a couple of weeks. What 's the deal. Its driving me nuts. How can i fix this annoying problem?

i think everyone has had that problem, i went to westlakes (hardware store) and bought me a stiffer longer spring to put in there. havent had any problems since.

I just found a couple of washers that fit in the hole and put them behind the spring. All fixed for 4 months and going

there was a thread on here a while ago on how to rebuild them yourself..... I did mine by what was posted by Fixitrod (I think????) and/or Holyman. Their fix for the rattle worked for me and is still holding up with no probs.

 

Maybe get a hold of them and see if they can give you the info on how to do it yourself.

holyman has an awesome fix for that rattling kick starter. he fixed mine a cfew months ago, and I almost miss that annoying rattle while sitting there at an idle. NOT!!!!!

just weld it. you dont need to be bale to kick start it. you can still roll it down a hill or have a buddy tow you to get it going.

OK, I fixed it . But I used a way none of you mention. It works well to. I cut a head of a nail and placed it on top of the spring. works mint. HOW DO U LIKE DOS APPLES.

I got the kick start repair done by holyman.. Great work, still is good and that was about 5 months ago. Before I had that done I just had a hose clamp attacked around my brake line, then i put the kicker in it when not in use.. Keeps the rattle away, but its a pain in the ass cause everytime you want to kick it over you gotta reach down, pull it out.. put it in there before you go...all that, so... Holyman fixed that prob.

I just got the cascade kicker rebuild, and it seems to work pretty well. I also greased it real well too i think that grease should make it last longer so make sure you grease it up good.

How much did it cost you and what did it include?
