Disengaging Kick starter

[patreilly]

Well my 2001 KDX200 arrived from 1/2 way across the country. The son-of -a bitch that listed it on CL forgot to mention the kick start only engages every 3rd kick.....maybe. I suppose the engine has to come out and cases come off. What do I search to get the info on fixing it?

You do NOT need to remove the engine or split the cases for this repair, but you will need to remove the right hand engine cover and the clutch to replace parts. Check this thread for part numbers.
