Hi there, thought id start a new thread on this weird noise we have from the starter area. We have Jailingy type bottom end with the starter that engages with 1st gear. We just changed the gear box as the starter had stripped all the teeth off 1st gear under previouse owners watch. We changed all that and it runs.
EDIT: changed a bit after obseravtion. Its not the starter. When running, if you push kickstarter down a little that makes a different clicking noise; louder but similar to the noise we have. So our noise is something else. Some definate observations:
IN NEUTRAL: clicking noise is there with clutch in or out.
IN GEAR: with clutch in (back wheel stationary) the noise stops
IN GEAR: but clutch out (rear wheel driving) we have the noise.
If we stop engine, take plug out and rotate rear wheel in 4th gear we can sometimes hear it bit not always
Any thoughts would be ace and we'll pull bits off again tomorrow. cheers. Neil n Edd
