D14 4 speed box
« on: 05 July, 2021, 20:01:35 »
Hello all.  After fitting new seals in a friends D14 I am having problems with the kickstart not engaging 50% of the time.  In or out of gear.  The slightest turn on the crank lets it engage.  Also, if I don't let the kickstart lever travel all the way back to the upright position stop it stays operational. The problem was there before I stripped it but only about 5% of the time and not 50%.  Any thoughts anyone?  Also according to Piquet's brilliant topic of the 01/11/2018 on the 4 speed box he states the sliding gears on the main and lay shafts have 21 and 22 teeth respectively.  The ones in this box are both 21 teeth.  Is this correct.  Could it be the cause of my kickstart problem?  I can't see it but you never know.
