Why is it when i rev up my 200 engine the kickstart wants to go into the full dive position . . .
It doesn't happen at low revs . . .
I've just built a new Rally 200 engine - old casings with new gubbins . . .
Rev up & the kickstart drops with the ratchet noise you'd expect when you use the kickstart with the engine running . . .
Any ideas . . .??
Cheers,
Davie.

It can only be a problem with the return spring and cog but what exactly I can't say.

Opened the engine up - nothing amiss.
Put back together - same prob . . .
The engine was built with brand new kickstart, quadrant, pinion & LML xmas tree on a Rally spindle.
I don't know what was genuine Piaggio & what was pattern - can't remember.
I hear folks say that the T5 quadrant is the same as the Rally . . . but is it?
It may be that the supplier has sent me a T5 quadrant . . .
The teeth that the kickstart fits on is the same as the T5 but what about the teeth that controls the pinion & the general shape internally?
Anyone know?
Anybody got a spare Rally kickstart quadrant that i could buy . . ??

After spending the day: splitting the casings (& wot a f**kin job that was) . . going to the auto shop for gasket cement (sober at this point) . . gettin stushied on cider (after askin the missus to go get me some) . . gettin pot black wi oily shit . . & gettin sunburnt . . . i just tapped the kickstart further onto the spindle wi a hammer . . . & the probs gone away . . .  |
