hi i recently put a new battery and a new starter switch on my typh 125 2t only to find out it doesnt work so i opened the engine cover and had a look at the benedix gear i looked okay but when i tyre to start the bike it just seems to jams up and then prevents the kick start from working ive ordered a kickstart overhaul kit but dont understand why the benedix is jaming took it outbut didnt seem to fit tightly any sugesttions would be most gratefull
If you are trying to start the bike with the trans cover off, the bendix will jam against the outer pulley as it needs to be supported by the recess in the trans cover to keep it aligned. It is normal for them to feel loose with the cover off. If it is jamming then the bendix must be throwing out ok but it still may not be retracting properly. If it is jamming when trying to start with the cover on then either the outer pulley is incorrectly located on the crank causing it to remain in contact with the bendix, or the bendix might be stuffed and not retracting which would cause the same thing to happen. It is sometimes possible that the bike will still start if the bendix and outer pulley remain in contact but the bendix would be spinning very fast in it's housing. I had this happen to my bike once and there was a loud metallic sound when you switched the bike off. You could see wear on the teeth of the outer pulley. A new bendix and outer pulley fixed it for me. Make sure the recesses on each end of the bendix have a littl egrease in them and make sure the bendix is sitting in it's hole properly before putting the trans cover on. If it is really loose and just hanging there then the brass bush may be worn and might need to be replaced.
yeah it was the brass bush that was work so took it out for now cleaned the kick start gear rebuilt the carb and bike fired up for the first time just need to find a front end (forks,full front brake system,)if anyone know someone breaking a typhoon for parts please msg me thank you
