gear problem

[125pb]

i went to kick over my blaster and something snapped. so i take the clutch case off and its the primary driven gear behind the drive gear and the basket. is this common or what went wrong? and im having trouble finding one, every one i find looks different, did they change them in different years of the blaster? does someone have a pic of it??

You mean the gear off the crank?

 

[brandoz28]

is it the gear on the back of the clutch basket?

 

[125pb]

yeah its off the back of the basket, its a the smaller one, the idle gear is supposed to be touching it.

 

[brandoz28]

never heard of it breaking, you'll need a whole new clutch basket

 

[fioz600r]

Did the rivits come loose? And like brando said you will need a new clutch basket. You have any pics?

 

[125pb]

well no pics right now, and im not sure if the little gear is rivited to thr bigger one, i know that right now when you ingage the starter gear then that engages the idle gear but then it just spins freely doesnt engage the motor. and when i look for new a basket it is just the basket no little gears with it.

 

[brandoz28]

you'll need like a stock basket that has the gears on the back. the little gear is cast to the large gear, and then that's riveted to the basket. if you just buy an aftermarket billet basket, you won't get those gears

ah hell , yeah i guess im going to have to find one. so far not so easy. what would cause this maybe the engine had started and i kicked it at a bad time?

 

[brandoz28]

its hard to say, you need to try to make sure that nothing is frozen/jammed up though

It could of not been torqued right........

I may have a good stock basket. I'll check when I get home about 4pm. I'll Pm ya if so.-

 

[125pb]

well it started on the first or second kick then the kick lever shot up and hit my foot, then nothing. is it possible that the engine rotated backwards? i think i have the stock stator and stock ignition maybe the woodruff key broke or fell out? is this a freak accident or what!

 

[slickerthanyou]

Freek had nothing to do with this! JK! I hear of those keys breaking often, I believe from parts working loose- improper torqueing. I hope that bad luck stays a way from me.
