Hi everyone, well I'm on problem number 3. When i got the bike (93' KDX200) I noticed that the about half the time you try to kick it over the kick starter doesn't engage at all. It just goes all the way down and the spring brings it all the way back up with nothing in between. I figured the gear on the kickstarter shaft had some teeth broken but it looks fine. As a matter of fact everything looks perfect. All the gears look new and the spring and ratchet mechanicals look fine. Any ideas?
As a side note there is a plastic or nylon gear right above the crank shaft on the same side that has one tooth that is half broken off should I worry about this? Other than that every thing looks great.

Kick starter gears or something else?

No but I have found something that may be a problem. I have the kickstarter shaft out and have a question. Ok , The main gear on the shaft will move about an 1/8 back and fourth between the snap ring and the shoulder of the shaft............ WAIT WAIT WAIT. I think I got it. This is crazy, the snap ring isn't seated in the groove! It is about 1/8 away. That doesn't make sense.
