Could be the kicker assembly gear. Take off the flywheel cover and spin the flywheel by hand. If it spins then you're ok. If it jams up and won't spin either direction then something in the gearing is messed up.


Chances are it's the kicker assembly. Either the spring, the gear popping out, or the entire assembly.

Either way you'll have to pop off the clutch cover to find the culprit.
