hi mate, no i dont think it will fit..... not sure why your having problems with your standard kickstarts.?? why are they hanging too low... is the kickstart quadrant (splined bit) a T5 / Rally 200 one, and not a PX one... if you can put a picture up, i bet we can shed light on the problem between us all...

have you checked the kickstart return mecanism? this may be why your kickstart is sitting low.

duuno about the kickstarts being the same or not to check the kickstart return you may need to split the cases, but try this first: pull the kickstart up. is there any movment in that direction?this might suggest free play and the return being a bit goosed. however DONT GO SPLITTING CASES UNTIL YOU HERE FROM THE PROS ON HERE unless you know what your doing and its the last resort.

Vespa, Yes all PX kickstart levers are the same.. T5 ones are different though... shame you cant get some pictures up for more accurate help.. some new aftermarket kickstarts are made from very soft alloy, so that the splines chew up straight away... like Juan says it sounds a bit like the kickstart return spring, if so you have to split the cases to get at it.. however just check that when you kick the kickstart that it does turn the engine over... I know that sounds obvious, but if the splines on the kickstart or the kickstart quadrant are knackered you will get little or no resistance when kicking it and will have to pull the lever back up by hand.... also remove the spark plug and see if the kickstart operates up and down as normal.., (I.E with no compression up against it) i know this all may sound a little vague, but hard to be sure without seeing it .... hope this helps Col
