dave dix Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieboy Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 As far as I can remember you must split the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belldane Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave dix Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
