Fourtrax 300 kickstart gear/shaft installation

[@ndavis80]

Ay...actually man...this was a perfect video. I've watched and been looking for a vid that shows a little better how exactely to hook and set that damn spring, and none of the other vids from other people showed it as good/clear as you...and you were quick and "to the point" of the matter! Thanks bro!

I didn't have too much of a problem doing this with the kick start. A symptom of it not correctly done is the kick part will turn forward when trying to start it by the electric starter. At least it did that in my case and I had to remove the clutch cover and set that right and put everything back together. I have an issue with the side gear. My dumb ass being the first time working on a fourwheeler engine. Thought I had to remove the side gear housing to remove the motor. Well, obviously I lost a ton of oil and pulled the shaft that has all those gears and they fell loose. Im guessing there are small spacers, possibly washers on that too. I tried to line the gears back up and slide the shaft back through all the gears and successfully did but its not driving. It feels like it kicks in gear (that little jerk) but doesn't pull. Originally I had the motor off changing the timing chain and also drilling out head cover bolt holes and tapping and using helicoils for the top cover. So I had the change clutch off and centrifugal clutch too but that all went back on good. Aside from the kickstart which I had to redo as mentioned earlier. So I'm thinking its sidegear

4 years later and you just saved my night. What an absolute king. Thank you!

Does pre loading that spring avoid the whole fourwheeler not moving at all in gear and not being able to actually turn the motor over with the kick start? Because that's the problem I'm having and I'm noticing a lot of starter movement when starting the wheeler and trying to move in gear

Different camera angle would be nice. All we could see was the back of your hand.
