Me again, talking to myself. Took the kicker mechanism apart and carefully undercut just a tad the gear teeth that bolt to the mainshaft. Pretty crude but seems to be effective and I didn't grind through the hardening. I think a stronger spring would help things but again it is a weird shape , what was it about Henderson and square section springs? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- there is NO way that Henderson could have sold thousands of 4's mostly ridden by donut chomping cops unless they came with a kickstart mechanism that worked perfectly every time. today we are dealing with worn out and incorrectly heat treated gears. does anyone make quality replacements or should I have some made?
