Well, if you have to rebuild the kickstart, you're nearly halfway there with the seals. I'm assuming it's the crank seals that need changed. Not a big deal at all. For the clutch side, you have to remove the clutch hub, and two gears on the crank shaft to access the seal. On the flywheel side, just remove the flywheel and stator to access the seal. (you'll need a flywheel puller). Easily done in an hour or two for both sides.

ight sounds good..i got a puller from changing starter clutch on my 660...wats the sympton the motor will have from a bad seal? he says it runs just needs the seal and kickstarter rebuilt..

if its on the flywheel side then it would suck air and it would run lean.. and if its on the clutch side it will be burning gear oil..

ight thanks to both you guys for the help!!! any idea how much it costs to rebuild kicker?

more than likely, the spring is broke. Can't imagine it could cost too much.
