stclark04 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 i think everyone has had that problem, i went to westlakes (hardware store) and bought me a stiffer longer spring to put in there. havent had any problems since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I just found a couple of washers that fit in the hole and put them behind the spring. All fixed for 4 months and going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuff Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 there was a thread on here a while ago on how to rebuild them yourself..... I did mine by what was posted by Fixitrod (I think????) and/or Holyman. Their fix for the rattle worked for me and is still holding up with no probs. Maybe get a hold of them and see if they can give you the info on how to do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey390 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I got the kick start repair done by holyman.. Great work, still is good and that was about 5 months ago. Before I had that done I just had a hose clamp attacked around my brake line, then i put the kicker in it when not in use.. Keeps the rattle away, but its a pain in the ass cause everytime you want to kick it over you gotta reach down, pull it out.. put it in there before you go...all that, so... Holyman fixed that prob.

Wassup350 Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I just got the cascade kicker rebuild, and it seems to work pretty well. I also greased it real well too i think that grease should make it last longer so make sure you grease it up good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
