    ok, should clear.. id guess the spring is out of place holding the crescent gear out on the kickstartt cover meaning it clashes wiht the pulley.

    this makes no sence now as outer pulley is as tight as it will go now it cant get any tighter its up against the spacer yet it still sounds like the outer pulley is rubbing agiainst the kickstart case when i move the kickstart

    is the nut on inside engines vari n front pullley wider then on the rollin nut engine?
    or maybe theres different washers or something just so i can rule that out as the problem

    check the spring.... it could be holding the kickstart gear oput ~(the big moon shaped one) common problem. the centre of the gear should be flush wiht the inside of the casing
