dave dix Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 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...
fastducs Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I don't know about the 349, so take this info with a grain of salt. Every one of the few different engine types I've seen doesn't require splitting the cases to replace any part of kick starter mechanism. Usually there is a clutch cover that must be removed. Kick starter gear typically engages clutch basket gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
