Kicker problems...

[Diablo362]

I was having some problems relating to my head gasket, and during the process of fixing that, I ran into another problem, witch leads to my kicker. While I was kicking it to start my quad, my buddy noticed that the side of my engine jumped when i kicked it, All the allen bolts were loosened, and once it was all tighted up, ever 5 kicks or so, the kicker doesnt go and you could push it down with your pinky. I can deal with it beaacuse if it doesnt work, i push it with my hand untill it grabs, but is there something cracked, grinding, anything that is wrong or will be wrong please tell me... Thx..=]

does it run?
do a compression test

Yea it runs i did a comp test last time i ran it last weekend i dont remember exactly what it had but it has great compression. It doesnt go easy because of the engine, but because its missing in the gear thingy.

maybe something is stripped out then

Thats what i was thinking... And the same day that happened, the two Nuts on the left axle next to the sproket got loose and I had to Push about 4 miles mostly up hill....=[
