Sure can, I made mine with materials from home depot and local hardware store.
Kickstart issues

the real problem is something is jammed
when you take exhaust off to do your leak test
look up through the cylinder and see if you can see any damage
on cylinder/piston.
maybe drain your tranny fluid and look for metal shavings
or look for metal shavings when you take your carb off
to do your leak test
if indeed engine is locked up?
if it was mine i would just take cylinder off to inspect
then proceed with flywheel/clutch side to look for evidence.If none found elsewhere's
after your 'leak test'

Get a flywheel puller and check that out first. Won't take any gaskets, and you might get lucky.
Ok I removed the top end to inspect the piston in which it looked good no issues at all, but when trying to move it up and down it won't budge at all. So then I removed the clutch side and I've noticed the two rear sprockets are frozen, won't budge. The otter basket won't move but can tell by wiggling it that it's the two rear ones keeping the engine from moving..
got pics?
did you remove the cylinder or just the cylinder head?
i know you don't have a flywheel puller but it could just be the flywheel magnets broke and jammed up against stator
its alot of guessing cuz we have not seen it at all
and just going by what you described
pics/video maybe?

sounds to me like a seized bearing or as speedy said flywheel. Pics would be ridiculously helpful at this point. a video would be good too. If you upload pics get a shot of the whole clutch side. and some up close shots of where you think the problem is. and remember blurry pics will not be helpful at all. also make sure it is in neutral.
Well, at this point remove the gears from end of crankshaft. That way you can isolate crank from everything else. Try turning crank with flywheel.
only thing i can tell from your 1 pic is appears that piston has not dropped a skirt/ broke
green gasket paper gasket is a bad idea/stock or cometic is a better option,
and flywheeel is a bit rusty on outside at least

is it in neutral? Did you start taking the clutch basket off? there are only 3 bolts holding the boss hub on.
No i havent took the clutch basket off yet. Yes it's neutral. I can't get the piston to move . I'm assuming the kick start issue has something to do with this.
