Kick start install question

Post by Tuxedo »

Recently I tried to install a new half moon looking gear into the kick start of my honda spree. It seems as though I am missing a 3rd gear. I have the half mooned one on the plate in alignment and then the one bolted on the moped. Is there a 3rd gear that I am missing that I need in order for my kick start to work?

Well maybe you can help me understand how the gears interact with each other, because to me they make no sense at all. I don't understand how the half moon connects to the gear that turns the piston.

Kicking In the Air

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

I will know more tonight. I'm about to swap the one-piece case cover/kicker on Flash for the nifty Dioid 2-piecer on the new Deej. Pre-reading the Service manual suggests there's a sort of cam washer with shaft splines that lives on top of the kicker, allowing it to engage in one direction but free to disengage if the engine kicks over. Sort of like a primitive Bendix. If that cam washer's missing it would explain why the gear won't spin the engine: It's freewheeling on the shaft instead.

Check the parts blowup for some idea how it all goes together. If this isn't your model (Please specify your model/year!), click the date on the Mr. Cycles page and find it.

Bookmark that page if you want to know what part number(s) to order from there or your local dealer.

Its a 1986 honda spree, and to me it seems that the half moon gear should be touching another gear to get the piston gear to move but i cant seem to remember taking one out or every having one. There is another gear close to the gear that moves the piston but when you put the plate on the half moon one is no where near it. :lol:

Do you mean this one:

http://www.mrcycles.com/fiche_section_d ... &fveh=3555

Part number depicted as #3 in the diagram is 28220-GR2-000, lists for 18 bucks and Honda-san near you should be able to order it. Otherwise use Mr.Cycles.com and pay shipping.
