kickstart problem

Post by comanacu »

buna ziua
am o problema cu kdxul meu
daca invart de kickstarter cu mana, totul pare sa functioneze perfect
daca dau sa pornesc cu piciorul, nu se intampal nimic.
parca nici nu invarte blocul motor.
am desfacut capacul de la motor si nu gasesc nimic uzat, nici o roata dintata.

I'm having a problem with my KDX.
When I turn the kickstarter by hand, everything seems to work perfectly.
But when I try to start it with the kickstarter, nothing happens.
It's as if the engine isn't even turning over.
I took the engine cover off and couldn't find anything worn out—not a single gear.

Translated with DeepL app

Your ratcheting kickstarter mechanism is slipping due to wear, as well as likely a weak spring.

The clutch case housing needs removed to inspect this and replace the spring.

One of the two halves of the ratcheting mechanism is no longer available, but it can be repaired by a machinist.

Pentru a verifica acest lucru și a înlocui arcul, trebuie demontată carcasa ambreiajului.
Una dintre cele două jumătăți ale mecanismului cu clichet nu mai este disponibilă, dar poate fi reparată de un mecanic.
