Ticking noise (it's da bomb!)

Hi Steve,

Two years ago I spend my summer holiday in the UK, I think the English are too nice to each other.
They stand in a row and wait for their turn (honestly they do), no matter for what reason, without wondering why they are standing in a row. They don't throw their car before my car on a roundabout, and if the roundabout is having two lanes, they never take the inside lane when doing a half roundabout, even in a traffic jam !!

Like I said, way too nice, I don't know if that will change when starting to smoke grass.

Just courtesy and good manners (depending upon the generation). If you ever get a chance to watch th UK's 'X-Factor', do so; I'm always so impressed by most of the younger kids' attitudes -- especially the dance troupes -- trying to pull themselves out of the social gutter by using their energy positively rather than beating up old -- and not-so-old -- people for kicks! There was a bunch in last year's series, Youth Against Knives (or similar), about 16 of them, and they were so dedicated it was moving.

With engine right side up ya will need to rotate the KS shaft clockwise and the pawl will no longer click. ..........lm

LM, Of course, the shaft itself rotates anticlockwise like any normal bike, therefore it must rotate clockwise to hit the stop. I was thinking of it from the other side and got all turned around. Good catch (as usual)

Thanks for the quick response guys, I had to write some reports for one of my customers so haven't been able to check it out till this morning.
I do have the right case off Teazer (good call) and when I rotated the K/S shaft clockwise (you're awesome Ed!) up to the stop the pawl disengaged and the ticking stopped.
This connects the dots for me with Ed's suggestion in one of my first posts that I move the K/S back on it's splines so it's not bottomed on the side case, now I get it!
Here's a little side benefit of removing the primary case, check out the aluminum mud that came out of the oil filter!
Something very dramatic happened to that engine in it's previous life and whoever repaired it didn't even clean the oil filter!
Re-enforces my "lesson learned" about not taking anything for granted on these things.
e3steve - if our congressmen were smoking weed it would explain alot.
