For some reason my kicker feels like it is skipping some teeth once in a while and also completely locks engine sometimes while kicking. All seemed fine until I put on the newer dogleg kicker and kicked it a few times. I can move kicker back and forth a little and it frees up. Not sure what happened....I have not taken off left side cover yet. I hope it's a simple issue?!

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

First you must take it apart and inspect all your kicking gears!! The one on the back of clutch ring gear, the idle gear and kick gear. Could be first sign that
the rings small gear is tearing. It a big issue in all the primary kick gears bikes. It could end up hurting your cases. Double check that your case is not cracked also.
I would check this first. Even with perfect cases, idle and kick gear bearings, good clutch ring gear. This gear can catch and bind and tear. Sometimes during kickback on starting.
The early clutch ring gears are not heat treated in 81 82 years.
This is only to check the worst case scenario first and hope it is just a simple fix
