94 KDX 200 Kickstarter problems

Post by BrandonB102 »

Hello all, first post on this forum. Picked up a few weeks ago a 94 KDX 200 that needed an ignition coil. Picked one up off Ebay for 20 bucks, and finally got it installed tonight, I have spark. However the issue is when I go to kick the bike over and the bike fires it throws the kickstater back at me every time. I've tried kicking all the way through, same issue. Also once in every 5 kicks the kicker locks up completely, I tried google and all the information I found was that the ratchet mechanism can be tricky to reinstall, which I suspect because this bike has been recently rebuilt. (Excellent compression, brand new cylinder) Any tips would be nice, I'm gonna pull the right side cover and check out the kickstarter mech.

Thanks!

Update, just got it started. I know there's still something wrong, but all I do is kick it half way and slip my foot off, starts right up.
