bluebanshee7 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 This is my first banshee and I've been doing a bunch of work to it. One problem is the kick start doesn't always engage. I took off the clutch case and found that theres a "C" notch that holds a piece from the Kickstart shaft into place but half the "C" notch is broken off and allows that piece to just rotate freely. Tried to explain best I could. anyone have this problem and is there a solution to it? I can still kick start it but it's a pain, I'll get a couple kicks every 10 misses.

bigweav81 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'd say that's your problem. Seems like I read about this problem a few months back on here. Try searching I remember guys saying how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee7 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) yeah if that notch that's missing is the problem then is there a possible fix? Edited May 10, 2015 by bluebanshee7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 replace the broken parts. i'm sure someone has a whole kickstart assembly for sale, or just laying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 yeah if that notch that's missing is the problem then is there a possible fix?Replace the case with a good used one. Without that "C" notch it will keep slipping when you kick it or not catch at all. You might be able to rig something up with jb weld to duplicate what was originally there but it's going to have to be the same as it originally was in shape. There may be another solution for this but that I'm not sure of. Maybe someone else can chime in for a fix besides getting different cases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee7 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Problem is, the notch is not on the clutch case it's on the motor itself. I thought about jbweld but thought it would melt from the motor getting too hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 He's not referring to your side cover, but your lower case in general. I wonder if a guy could tac weld the part of the kick starter itself that sets in the holding fixture. Cases are 200$ average, or more.
