Honda spree starting issue with kick start

My 86 spree wont start now. I lent it to a friend to ride around while i was gone and when I got back it wont kick start or electric start. of course he has no idea why its not working. when i kick start it it gets stuck down, so i greased it up and still the same issue. when i trie to use the electric start the kick start pedal actually moves and makes a grinding sound. any help on how to fix this or point me in the direction of the issue would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Check the kick start shaft bushing in the cover. If it's worn, it can cause binding.
