Hey everyone. I have never worked on a dirtbike before. I have a 1974 TC125. I got it for free, the guy says it works. So far it definitely does not.
I ordered a kickstart, because it was missing. Cost me 120 off ebay, rippoff but whatever.
I put it on the bike, kicked it over, grabbed once. Now it just clicks and turns and the motor wont turn over. I took the side cover off. There are no broken teeth, no metal shaving. everything looks brand new. If i hand crank the kickstart slowly, it will turn over, but give it any pressure and it will not grab. How do i fix this. It looks absolutely brand new in there with no obvious missing parts.
I did a big no-no and ordered about $400 worth of parts off ebay before i even knew if it ran.....need some help now before the old lady kills me...
