Hi All,
When kickstarting my nearly finished MK2 there is a weird clunking noise coming from near the kickstart but only when under load with the plugs in.
Without the spark plugs in kicking over, no noise.
It has a new kick start shaft, pawl and spring and RGM belt drive plus a new 1st gear on the layshaft and mainshaft which I have just put in but it is still the same. The new k/start shaft was fitted before I just swapped the 1st gears.
I have just removed the primary belt etc and can find no rubbing marks on anything.
I have turned the engine over with plugs in and no primary attached and no noise.
I am considering fitting the old k/start shaft to rule that out.
I did see a 3 part youtube video with exactly the same problem on a MK2a but they did not seem to solve the problem as far as I know.
Any advice welcome.
