After borrowing my buddy’s manual I got it figured out. Feeling like dummy I had everything timed EXCEPT for the kick start lever. After lining up the marks on the kick start shaft and gear everything works flawlessly. Thanks everyone for input!
No the kick lever won’t go down. I’ve had it apart several times. I took the clutch basket out to make sure the gears were binding and they were free spinning. So reinstalled the clutch basket, put cover on and kick lever won’t move
I recently purchased a complete lt230s for$50. It was missing the kick starter gears which I got off eBay for $18. I’m trying to install the gears which after reading different threads about having it timed. I have it all timed but now it acts like engine is seized up but I know it’s not. What could be going on??? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.
