alignment of kick lever 83 WR430?

This is not a kick lever instal questions, Im familiar with how to install. However, my pig tail large splined lever does not line up. Its either too much clockwise (does not fit in the plastic cradle) or too far counterclockwise (have to over cock the spring, and when kick lever returns, its hits case instead of stopping via the pawl and spring retainer inside the case).

Its not the plate/spring retainer thing inside the case, I have several including an unmolested one and same problem.

So I wanted to check a few things. Maybe Im wrong and its ok for the lever to come back and hit the case? If not, could I have the wrong lever? Every picture I could find of the 83 WR430 has the pigtail lever. Were there perhaps multiple pig tail levers? Or should it have a straight kick lever like I have seen on some of the later 1980's bikes?

Here’ a picture of my 81 cr430 kicker . There is also a rubber block between the kicker and cases . Also took a few other pics incase you want to see how it sits off the holder . Wasn’t sure if you were saying that the pawl isn’t releasing when you kicker returns but hope it does release as that can and will get expensive . Good luck .

Pawl is releasing, I was thinking the rubber block should not be what stops the kicker on the return, but maybe it is the rubber block that actually stops it. Does your kicker slam back into the rubber block or kind of stop before it gets there?

the rubber block is the stop and it's replaceable for that reason

Out of those 2 options I would have to say it slams back onto the rubber stop but since the pawl should have release by then it should hit the stop with no more force than that of the kickstart return spring . Are you missing the rubber stop on yours ?

thanks. I have the rubber stop. P.O. had some issue, the case under the rubber stop had a slight crack.
