May 11May 11 I've replaced the broken nylon part with the metal one, but not sure where to position it. I've watched Jim Snell vid (thanks Jim, hope your vids will live forever), but it's still not clear. Anybody here know? After watching the vid, this position looks like what Jim says, but my gut feeling is that it should rest up against the case to help support it. (slightly more clockwise that the attached pic) TIA Edited May 11May 11 by PapaWheelie
May 11May 11 @PapaWheelie The video titled 'Jim Snell-USA-GASGAS TRIALS ENGINE REPAIR , PRO KICK-START SYSTEM' that is 11.09 mins long shows very clearly where the kick stop is positioned in various images , starting at 4m 46s. It is clear to me how it should be fitted. Perhaps you are seeing a different video? Edited May 11May 11 by Tr1AL
May 11May 11 Author Yeah - that's the one, but the best shot in the video was w/ the cases split, and I was having trouble believing that it should be free standing and not up against the other case half for support. Well, I tried the position that I felt would be supported (max clockwise) but then it rubbed against the K/S shaft bushing, so I rotated it back, even more CCW beyond the photo and all seems to work well now, so there I have it - Jim (and you) are right! Now I'm a believer! 😉 Edited May 11May 11 by PapaWheelie
May 11May 11 If you see a set of cases apart there is only one correct position as the case has a relief to keep it in the correct spot. I have added an image below for reference. So place the kick start stop in and rotate until you feel it is in that captured relief, then screw it down.

Yeah - that's the newer case, that Jim points out has the stop in a different position than my older case, w/o the recess guide. Anyway, through trial & error I found a spot that works....
