Friends,
When using the kick starter, the clutch must be engaged to to free the kick starter from its maximum up position and move the kicker down 1 inch. Release the clutch with the kicker in its new position and the kicker engages and turns the engine over. This procedure must be repeated every time the kicker is engaged. Do not think a chipped tooth is the issue as it happens every time. The kicker returns to the top of its stroke every time by itself but must be rotated down 1 inch to enable the kicker to function as intended. Thanks in advance for you advice.
