I have just rebuilt my vespa engine and when the scooter is in neutral the clutch works fine (testing it with the kickstart? but when I put it into first without the engine running the clutch doesn't work. I have tried adjusting the clutch but had no joy. has anyone else had this problem or any ideas as to what it could be before it becomes an expensive bonfire haha
If testing, while in neutral you pull the clutch lever in and press the kickstart the flywheel shouldn't turn. If you put it in first and pull the clutch and press the kickstart lever the bike will try to roll foward because the kickstart mechanism turns the whole transmission foward.
