Motor Stuck? or transmission

[joejo20]

I was wondering if you could possibly point me in the right direction on a 305 scrambler. I am working on this bike because something in the transmission is stuck. The motor does turn over from the crank shaft bolt but when I try to kick start the bike the kick start lever wont budge. Before I get into the transmission I would like to get your opinion. It seems to me like the kick start dogs are always ingaged. I can get the kick start lever to move freely with the clutch lever in. I can also slightly turn the motor over with the rear wheel when in gear. The kick start lever will also move when I turn the engine over with the crank shaft bolt. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

HAHAHA !!!! Yer lucky Im in the X-mas spirit !<br /><br />Sounds to me like the kick shaft is locked into the low gear cog either by the shaft itself or the paw.<br />Pull the kick start cover off an see if ya can spin the back wheel and watch the kick spindle. Then w/ the cover off spin the spindle and watch what happens. If the spindle spins in bothe directions when ya spin the wheel or vice versa then thats yer problem. <br /> Regardless yer gonna have to split the cases to make any repairs.<br />If doing that doesnt give ya any answers let me know but Im pretty sure thats it.<br /><br />georGe
