dozerash Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago My 93 Climber 280 kicks back bad. I thought I was going to break the Kickstarter or my foot. I ended up bruising the bottom of my foot in our last vintage trials. I was hoping it was just a sheared flywheel key. I took it apart felt like the main bearing was loose. Took some effort but I managed to get the flywheel off. Main bearing was tight. Someone put locktite on the crank/flywheel. I cleaned that off. I should have lapped it but was in a hurry. Put it back together. It's tight now. I checked the stator and all screws were tight. Didn't look like it had moved. I put it back together and it's still doing the kick back. I tried both feet, tried when cold, when warm and it still does it about 90 percent of the time. Could my electronic ignition timing curve going bad? Are there any aftermarket replacements? I have an aftermarket electronic ignition on my SWM and it’s working great! Any suggestions? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtas Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Can you move the pickup for the ignition to retard the timing slightly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
