im new to this forum on a recent runnout to the ace cafe on my comet/rapide cross ,the starter motor drive sprocket shered its locating pin , no big deal ,however upon trying to use the kickstarter i noticed the lever ratchet missing occasionaly ,progressively this got worse resulting in an embarrasing bump start ,suspecting broken teeth on the kick start ratchet {seies c twin}i removed gearbox cover ,nothing amiss , noticing a worn bush on the mainshaft kickstart ratchet i replaced this ,this improved matters but problem has come back , i can see that it is the actual teeth on the corresponding kickstart ratchet that are comming out of mesh when under load , ive tried adding shims and had cover off 20 times but problem still persists ,if any one can throw some suggestions at me i would be truly gratefull ,many thanks dean
