Rebuilding my engine and got things all back together yesterday but when I attached the clutch cable to the pin, it doesn't move at all. It seems like something is locked up inside the motor. I took the clutch case and everything inside back apart again today, reassembled according to the diagram in the manual, and it still will not pull. Everything inside spins as it should it's just when I put the case cover on things get tight. It is the correct case and I'm thinking possible the rack pin isn't right or something. I can only get the case together when the rack teeth are facing the teeth on the clutch pin.
I don't know what else to do now. Someone suggested a bearing in the case that the rack sits on might be missing but I don't see a bearing in that area in any schematic nor do I recall removing one on the disassembly. I've ruined two gaskets thus far and have a helluva time getting the cases together without the freaking kickstart spring popping out.
I'm at a loss here. Any suggestions would be welcomed!
