Kickstarter wont move

[Washburn]

Im having problems pulling my kickstarter out to start it up. Sometimes it just takes a few pulls sometimes I lube it up and sometimes it wont come out at all unless I blast it with a hose.I hate starting it in gear out on the trails cause it causes so much ware on the crank and everything else. I imagine theres some kind of bearings in there that are probably shot. Do any of you guys have an easy way to fix this? If its not a fixable solution what kind of kick starter kit should I get and where? Jeffs if he has em rmatv?

 

Oh, I have a kickstarter on my old blown up LT250R can I convert that to the SHEE?

I would the pull the kick started off the shaft and take it all apart and see whats going on.

take the starter off and there is a little screw on the side pull that and seperate the two peices.. there is a small ball bearing and a spring under that... make sure you dont lose them... clean the two sides and put some grease in there and youll be good..

You can do some tricks with other new / additonal springs too, while you have it apart. Put a small, not too stiff, spring on top of the post that the kicker sits down on and it will keep constant tension pushing upwards on the kicker and get rid of most of the rattle that comes later on.

Thanks guys, I appricate it as always. Yeah Ill take it apart and figure it out. and Im definatly gonna look into that extra spring that ratteling bothers me but not near as much as the shocks squeaking do man that gets on my last nerve. I always wear a helmet and it still bothers me a bit but I was riding one of my buddies kids on it so he was wearing the helmet and I was going insane with the rattels and squeaks. Cant be good and WD-40 Dont help that much. I have to make the shocks stiffer anyway mabey that will help.
