Ty 175C Kick Starter Issue

Hi there.

My TY175's kick starter has begun to feel a little looser then before. Most worrisome is the fact that it seems to not "catch" or engage until very low on its throw. Unlike my TY250 which seems ready to catch and propel right away.

Seems like the 175 only grabs and propels about the last 3 inches or so of its travel.

Any ideas?

Thanks

TY175 does have a weakness in the design of the return stop peg on the shaft. It can slip around on the shaft. Common problem. If it has slipped, work out where it should sit, move it back and weld or bronze weld it in position. The original design is a press fit that can slip if the kickstart is allowed to slam against the return stop. If that has gone wrong, you are lucky not to have holed the clutch casing

Before you start pulling it apart though, a TY175 kickstart that is working correctly engages when the lever is horizontal (about level with the footpeg)

They also develop looseness in the knuckle joint which causes the end of the lever to be lower
