kick starter kick down and then jumps up hard

[peterlocal22]

well i put an adj. timing plate, case saver, billet impellar,

first off it wont start but i have a feeling it might be no spark because the plugs on his quad always seem to foul.

if its not the spark could it be from installing one of the mods i mentioned?

also this is the part that im really puzzled about, when i kick it, the kick starter will go all the way down to the peg area and then shot back up real hard and quick. almost busted my foot a couple times. does this have anything to do with the mods?

thanks

That would probably be your timing, adjust it back to zero and see what happens. i would bet the problem will be fixed.

ok i will try that,

if im going to put it to zero then should i just not even run the adjustable and put on the stock plate?

thanks

mine does the same thing sometimes. better be wearing boots when it kicks back cause it realy slams your foot! haven't fixed it yet. trying to figure out a way to get the asshole next door to try and kick it over with a pair of sandals on.

hows it going grinch havent talked to you in a while.

ya the kick starter comes back hard ever since i advanced the timing. is your timing advanced?

so its not going to hurt anything but my foot right?

It's kinda rare for a kickback unless you got a lot of compression and timing.

Did you set the air gap for the pickup coil after you put the plate on??

[peterlocal22]

no,

I dont evan know what that is or how to go about it? i do know the compression is high in this machine.

can you help me out?

thanks

Ok...if you're looking at the flywheel with the stator side cover off...at about 4 to 5 o clock, there is a little black box, two scews hold it on. The flywheel has two nubs on it. Turn the flywheel so one of these nubs is lined up with this black pickup coil.

Between the nub and this pickup there should be .015 to .020 clearance. Much more than .025 and it might not spark strong enough...

 

You loosen the two small phillips to slide it closer/further from the flywheel nubs.

dajogejr,

 

this all makes sense now. when i took the stock stator plate off and put on the adj stator plate i removed the little black box. when i put it back on i did not measure any gap so this hopefully is the problem. it also took a ton of kicks to get it started thats when i relized the kick starter came flying back at me. also when it did start it wasnt running properly could this all be related to the gap?

thanks

if you're getting poor or intermittent spark, absolutely it could be the problem.

Since you didn't check it, start there. Could always be something else....but check that first.
