Kick-Start Spring
By: patentgeek Date: August 7, 2017, 7:00 pm

I'm reviving a 1970 Nuovo Falcone that hasn't been on the road
since 1987.
The kickstarter isn't springing back into place. The hooked end
of the spring is attached to the kickstarter, which looks
correct. What keeps the straight end of the spring in place
such that the spring winds up when actuating the kickstarter?

Hello,
The spring is held at the upper side of the aluminium distance
bush fixed by the lower engine holding bolt.
You have to pretension the spring to bring it to the right
position before mounting the bolt!
Good luck

Thanks! Very helpful.
Luckily, my kickstart spring isn't broken. I suspect the spring
wasn't installed properly when a replacement engine was fitted.
So it should be a pretty simple matter of preloading the spring
on the engine stud spacer.
