The kickstart on my Burman G97 gearbox sticks in the down position when starting meaning that I have to hook it up with my foot to have the next swing. Also, the quadrant sometimes jumps off the ratchet pinion at the bottom of the stroke.
I think it's related to worn kickstart casing slots, some of which appear to be oval in shape (see picture below), perhaps meaning that the outer case moves slightly during the swing causing the kickstart shaft to stick in its bearings. This could also be the cause of the quadrant jumping I guess.
I don't have a solution to this other than to procure a new outer casing for the gearbox but would appreciate your thoughts.
