March 6, 200917 yr I posted this in the montesa forum but i should have posted it here, Hi, can you change the kickstart shaft without splitting the engine? silly question as i split a 349 a few months ago and i just cannot remember!! I have been offered a 1977 one with the splines stripped. cheers Dave
March 7, 200917 yr To get the shaft out you will need to split the cases as there is a circlip in there that holds thw shaft in. Have fun!
March 8, 200917 yr Author I will be splitting the cases as the big end has a bit of up and down play so it looks like a complete re-build job. Funny enough the shaft was OK and its the kicker that was worn but by putting in a new bolt and doing up correctly it holds fine Dave
