Blaster kick starter on IT465

- Start date
The jimmy rigged kicker that came with it is just as short as a blaster kicker and I have no problem kicking it over, just have to find TDC. I have a stock IT465 kicker laying around but its way too long and doesnt swing out far enough from the frame and the jimmy rigged one is all chopped and welded together solid so it doesnt even swing away anymore. I have to pull the kicker off after I start the thing!!
i had a yz490(same cases and all) engine in my blaster frame and the stock length 490 kicker cleared the frame with no issues.
and if you can kick that engine over with the blaster kick starter sounds like it is very low on compression lol

My stock kicker grazes the frame just a little. Enough to make it impossible to use the way it is. I haven't used my compression tester on it yet but it couldn't be that low because I tried coast starting it on concrete and it just barks the tires. Maybe all those 900lb leg presses paid off? lol Either way I see what you mean. What if the next owner doesn't have a monster leg?i had a yz490(same cases and all) engine in my blaster frame and the stock length 490 kicker cleared the frame with no issues.

I will probably just have the stock kicker fabbed up. Thanks for your replies, + rep
Thanks for letting me know the sad news Paulie. The stock kicker wouldnt need to be brought out very far. Maybe a 1/4".
