Please tell that you need the flywheel in order for it to kick over "correctly." Please...even if you're lying. I put the washer inside the left case on the main drive shaft....it has to go there, it fits with a pretty tight tolerance...anyway, I put it on the end of the shaft of the main tranny gears, with the flat side so it would be towards the bearing when I put the case back on. Many times while re assembling my scoot I thought of just putting the kickstart on the engine and seeing if it would kick over. But no, not until I put it all back together again did I do that. Again, please tell me that you need a flywheel (which should be in tomorrow) in order for it to kick over smoothly. It sounds like a tranny something or other and kicks hard. I didnt think of even checking it, because I thought I had it right this time for sure, until I was putting the chain back on and I couldnt get a neutral spin goin on. pleeeaase victoria pleeease lie to me!
