Hi tck,
This problem usually occurs when the spring behind the kickstart ratchet gets weak or broken. Normally, the spring preloads the worm sleeve so that the ratchet pinionturns and moves forward to engage with the bevel pinion - then the pinion and worm sleeve turn as a pair.(See plate 18 in the spare parts book). All these parts are on the shaft directly below the gearbox output shaft. Access can be gained by removing the final drive (remove the central bolt and the 6 - 1/4 bsf nuts behind the final drive sprocket). When reassembling, you will have to 'time' the kickstart gears to bring the kickstart lever into the correct position.
Regards,
Eddie.
