Motorcycle Repair: 1964 CA77 Kick Starter Paw & Bushing, bill silver, kick starter

Question

CA77E Kick Paw  

CA77 Low Gear Bushing   Reading your manual. Is the paw in the picture installed properly and and good to use? Is the bushing good to use? Thanks, Best Reagrds.

Answer
Allen, the pawl is in correctly.

The bushing must be installed into the big LOW gear with the bevel outwards. The bushing has that raised section in the middle that needs to be fairly squared off. If it comes to a point and the gear is wobbly on the bushing, then the bushing needs to be replaced.

Check the condition of the gear cotters, too, as they can break in half.
