CB77 kickstart

I'm overhauling a CB77 engine that was not running when I took it apart. Now that I have it going back together, I see that the kickstart shaft goes though the transmission shaft, and into an over-run assembly that connects to gears that are engaged at all times. This seems to mean that while the engine is running, the ratcheting overrun assembly will be clicking away. Does this seem right? My CA95 had a disengagement feature, It seems the CB77 doesnt. Wont this ratcheting overrun wear out pretty fast if its ratcheting away at all times the engine is running? Just curious of others experience with this design, and if I have put it together right.

It doesn't ratchet all the time. When the kickstart shaft is retracted by the spring, the stop in the crankcase retracts the pawl. If it ratchets while the engine is running you need to pull the sidecover off and re-position the shaft in the splines.

Ok. I see where the stop goes into the case. I havent assembled it far enough to get the stop in yet so thats why it wouldnt disengage. Thanks for the input because I was hesitant to keep on going when it didnt seem right.

Please study the thread "Ticking Noise". I think you will find it near this thread.

My project was stalled for a long time because I thought I had made a mistake in assembly, because I had not yet installed the parts that kept the noise from happening. Several helpful people guided me on how to proceed, and in a short time I was riding my CB-77.

I rode it again today, and it works fine. A few issues remain, but the bike is reliable.

Good luck. I hope your machine is as much fun as mine!
