There is a kick start gear that goes on them often if not kicked properly all the time. ., pull case check for damage ( metal chips flakes broken gears teeth ext ext ) see if that's it ., dose it shift through the gears dose it run if pop started , careful starting it as if it's running and there is damaged kick start gears that could cause a lot more damage...?.
Does your bike have the decompression lever? If so this could be what is jamming up causing your problems. Otherwise what often happens is that the kick starter cogs don't mesh correctly, seeing as how you have taken the kick starter apart and put it back again and now no probs I would expect that to be your problem. It might be worth checking your kick starter for wear, or the return spring to see if it isn't broken.
Kicking over is the action of moving the engine with the kick-starter. I will presume it kicks over but does not fire at all.
It really sounds like flooding.
Drain the carb, and disable fuel delivery. If the shutoffs are vacuum operated pull that line and put a golf tee in it. If manual, turn to off.
Remove the plug, and turn the engine over enough to be sure the insides are dry.
Out the plug back in, and give it a shot of starer fluid (careful with that stuff!), and try to start it. If it shows some signs of life, then you almost certainly are flooding.
Use a syringe to put a dose of fuel in the carb through the float chamber vent. Make sure it is not too much. Again, give it a little shot of starter fluid, and see if it will start and run sustained a little as it feeds on the gas you put into the carb. If it will, your float and needle change either was done incorrectly, or the float height was not adjusted right.
all kick starter kicks back when starting just give it a little keck like just push dawn on the kick starter to wear it just turnes over 1once than jump on it than it should fire without kicking back but kick it hard or it will kick back
If this is a gas engine, check the ignition coil or plug wires. A simple test...
Start the truck at night, then look under the hood while it's running. Don't use a flashlight or your headlights; it should be dark !
If you see sparks anywhere around the engine, you've found the problem. Now you can turn on a light to see where they're coming from - probably from a cracked ignition coil.
