Need your assistance. When kick starting my commando, I use the kickstarter to bring engine up to compression. I then bring the kickstarter back up to the top of the swing and kick. Every now and then, it feels as if the kickstarter is jamming. With the weight of the body on the kickstarter, it feels horrible and I feel it could be doing damage inside the gearbox. There is approx 1/4 inch lateral movement of the kickstarter shaft - is this normal. Hercus
