1985 200X kick start assembly

[Huffa]

How hard is it to replace the shaft for the kickstarter and isn't there an update kit for the 83-5's since that is a problem area?

It's not mine but I do know the kickstart is a mess (splines) and most likely the shaft is bad too.

Would I need this (should match up to 85, right?) http://i17.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/eb/30/6e_1_b.JPG + have to split the cases too for kit?

I'm not sure yet if the kicker functions proper (kicks & rebounds) or not but if it does should I only get the above picture?

I think Howdy has done a few of these.

Huffa did you pick up a new toy and not tell us?

The upgrade kit is to solve the kickstarter slipping issues. If yours slips then it should be repaired. The kits are discontinued now, how ever I was able to find a couple of them. Yes, I will sell one, but it won't be cheap ( I paid full list price plus shipping for the ones I have ). To install them you MUST split the motor.

The parts in the auction your looking at should fix your spline issue. But why pay that price? I can hook you up with those parts for less $$ ( save a little on the parts and a little on shipping ). If you only need / want the shaft I can save you even more $$.

What are you up to Gary? This is what (i think) is in one of those kicker kits.

Relax guys... This one is no good. I just forgot I had it laying around.

Hey, thanks all (Howdy & Chris) for the info!

Edog, it is not mine.

I do not know as of yet if it slips on shaft or what. I had a garage sale over the weekend and one guy saw that I worked on trikes and asked about a kick starter. They did try to weld it on so who knows what all they need! They said the splines on shaft are 1/2 decent but more then likely if I look at them I'll bet there probably shot.

I will get back to you if they need more then the kickstart Howdy.

Anyone have a kickstart and is it only 83-5 that share the same one or do all (3-7) have the same one?
