Thank you all for the replies!!! If you dont know i live in minne-SNOW-ta and i know winter is nearing. I was hoping to ride a bit before winter struck but i figured i would just dive into fixing the kick start now. Just in case i run into any problems, which i will, i can make sure to have it ready by fall.
Worked on it tonight, pulled the engine, and hopfully will split the case tomorrow night.
Any tips or tricks before i jump in.
