redneck Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 i would say the kick start spring is broken. your problem sounds very much like the one i had. from what i hear and have experienced the springs spontaneously blow. what your is your 300? i think the problem was fixed in 03 or 04.

gt32 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Just been watching a Jim Snell video on Youtube about clutches (yes I must be bored). Link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjoj7n74G0s He mentioned a bit about the kickstart return spring having a 'foot' on it that has to fit into a groove in the clutch cover. It occured to me that if you have replaced your clutch cover you my not have seated this foot back into the groove. I think that would account for your kicker not going quite back to vertical with everything else looking okay. I am certainly not a mechanic, but hope this is of some help.
