Re: anyone know..

lol, it could have been kicked over too hard when the kicker worked and messed up the bits inside the engine.

When did it stop working?

Re: anyone know..

Might be a clutch issue...??? slipping? when i kick start my bike sometimes it kicks but dont turn the engine proper its like it just follows through without moving the engine take the plate off where the clutch cable goes in and see if it looks ok in there spray some WD40 in there give it a clean and give the clutch some stick press the clutch in and out really fast let it work in the WD40 then see if it kick start is workin any diffrent??? I might be totaly wrong but might sort it...

Re: anyone know..

or try just adjusting your clutch cabble to give it some slack and try kicking it....

sounds to me like your clutch might not be engaging properly

Re: anyone know..

Its your dlutch adjustment , its the cable its too tight so engaging the clutch so the kick doesn't turn over the engine. Slacken the cable or adjust the clutch properly.
