I plan to do a complete gear box rebuild next winter, but want to get parts on order before then. In particular, I need to order parts to fix the current problem which is:
The kick start pawl is not (usually) engaging the first cog on the gear, resulting in a 2/3 stroke when kicking over. Obviously, the pawl and pawl spring should be renewed, but what else In the kick start assembly?
I want to ride the Atlas thru the summer and fall, tackle the project in the cold months, (usually Dec to Jan here in Texas), and want to have the parts on hand. I already have Mick Hemmings layshaft bearing, and plan to order the bearing/bushing/seal kit.
Does anyone think the first gear cogs may be worn, resulting in the kick start problem? Any other parts I should have on hand before opening up the GB?
