Rick, remove the kicker housing from the case by undoing the 6 screws and pulling the whole housing out of the case to check to make sure the housing bore is not jambed up. You'll be able to see inside the countershaft gear that way also. I can email you pictures of how it all assembles and it is very simple Regards Rob ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- The kick starter on the bosses bike jams. It goes back and stops solid like the engine or gearbox is locked up. If I lock the clutch open it goes through and I can turn the engine by hand pulling on the wheel in third gear so neither are locked up. I'm guessing the pawl or whatever is in there is not engaging properly. Is there an adjustment one can make from the outside? Does anyone have a parts drawing or exploded view of the gearbox that will allow me to see what the problem might be? Oh, it's a 1929 Streamline. TIA, Rick |
