Triumph 750 twin

G'day viewers, my kickstarter lever has no return. So my question is. Is it a difficult job to fix, the return spring ? Basic skill level or comanding a space ship kinda thing ? Jimson

This might be worth a look, keep the safety glasses at hand before you mount her up tho !  8)

Not difficult. Just take off the gear box outer cover and you will see it right there. Make note of what spline the spring is hooked into on the kickstart shaft.
Service manual will be a help to have too.

prob too late  ::),but engage the k/starter 10.30-11am posi. then remove outer cover & k/s lever as a whole assembly,then u look at where spring engages or where its broken?, :P
ps  Leigh is correct,k/start lever preload  is determined on the quadrant s shaf'ts teeth
work,the curse of the racing class!!
if a hammer dosn't fix it,you have a electrical problem!!

justa thought,leave the gear lever on too Garry,use that for leverage wiggling the cover off when you get toit, :P
err  ::) it is on the right (earlyT140??),if later ignore this bit
