thejohnsta Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi, I hope someone can help! I have a 1980 Cota 200, the kickstart works fine but when you manually turn the flywheel the kick mechanism can be heard to ratchet on the pawl. I have removed the cover and cant see anything missing or amis! Has any one else got one and is this normal? The bike starts and runs great. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

motovintage Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 sounds like it's not disengauging the kick gear, is the kick start lever clocked wrong? sounds like you may be a tooth or two off on the kick shaft spline, not letting the kick shaft return far enough, can quite remember how these are made, been too long since I looked inside mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejohnsta Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi, Thanks for that, after the third time of cover removal I worked out how it should be assembled! Was exactly how you said. Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
