This is the deal and yes I've already searched the site all over for this exact problem. When I was out riding my 85' 200x a few months ago, my oil pump rotor broke and in turn the cam bushing seized to the cam, locking up the motor. I took the cam out and was still able to kick over the motor (with the cam chain held up out of the way). I took off the clutch cover to fix the oil pump and afterwards put the cover right back on, with all the kicker gears indexed correctly, and the thrust washers in the right spots. I replaced the cam, cam bushing, and rockers in the top end. Motor spins freely off the flywheel, transmission and clutch spin free too. I've checked the kicker gears plenty, but my kicker wont budge. I tried to kick it, it moved maybe an inch really hard and wouldnt come back without tapping the kicker back with a rubber mallet. I've had the clutch and kicker cover off four times each checking things over and still cannot find the problem. Hoping to make a family ride this weekend and I could really use some help.
