[QUOTE="edward, post: 36926, member: 1628"] Some months back I was looking through some old posts on the forum and found information and photos of a Honda kickstart being converted for use on a Norvin which seemed to solve my problem with having a rearset linkage which didn't hit the kickstart. I duly purchased a suitable kickstart and was in the process of having a modified shaft made to accept the Honda kickstart. I carefully matched it(the kickstart) with the position shown on the previously posted photos and everything looked good, when folded out the kickstart cleared the gearlever, and when folded in it tucked away nicely. I then realised that if used in this position, the kickstart quadrant hits the stop way before reaching the bottom of a normal swing. With any decent force behind it the result would be a busted kickstart cover. The kickstart quadrant only allows about 80 degrees of movement which is obviously why the original kickstart has an L shape to it. Although it was quite some years ago, I wonder how the person who did this modification overcame this problem (or if they did). Meanwhile its back to the drawing board for me (anyone want a good second hand Honda kickstarter?) [/QUOTE]
