neandethal Report post Posted September 8, 2017 Hi, just changed the clutch springs in my Ossa Mar250 trying to make the pull more acceptable and now the kickstart doesn't work when the kickstart lever is moved by hand there is very little pressure and then you hear (What i assume to be the return spring) make a spring slipping noise, but the engine hardly turns before the spring makes it's noise and the lever just flops. Any guidance appreciated, i have checked cable isn't kinked and has plenty of slack at the lever, but have'nt gone back to original springs yet but i cant see the clutch slipping, as i know the kickstart drives through the clutch. I guess its something obvious i'm missing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longlegscanbeuseful Report post Posted September 9, 2017 If all you did was change the clutch springs then I'd say your clutch is slipping. The kickstart is output side of the clutch and will not turn the engine if the clutch is disengaged. I found the lighter springs from Rex Caunt Racing needed to be adjusted a long way in to stop the clutch slip in 4th and 5th. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neandethal Report post Posted September 9, 2017 Thanks for confirming what i suspected, have now adjusted springs really tight and all seems to be working thanks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
