the kick starter ca77 (1965) --I can pull it toward the front of the bike while in neutral. will not go back into place...until i pull clutch...goes back to 11:00. while in gear, with clutch pulled or not...if i m ove the bike backwards....the kick starter goes forward...

any thoughts???

Sounds to me like it isn't starting off from its proper parked position, fully c/w. The pawl is forced to disengage once the shaft quadrant reaches the correct start point.
