    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I deleted the starter on my 1978 gs550 and plugged the hole, now when I put everything back together and tried to kickstart like I usually do, the kickstart just goes all the way down if doesn?t crank or turn the engine over, what piece am I missing to the puzzle fellow expertises?
 
No I am not holding the clutch in. I made sure I wasn?t doing that.
 
Did the kicker work before removing the starter? Maybe something was goofed with the kick starter all along... good luck.
 
I can't imagine what might have gone wrong, but I would like to ask what your motivation was to remove the starter? :-k

I was just going to say put it back in. I'm guessing weight gain (loss)?

Sounds like something I would have done when I was 19. No offense intended. :D
 
Can you open the oil filler, get sight of the clutch basket and now push the kick down.
Does the basket turn?
