[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]i got a mojave fsa 250 and when you try and kick start it nothing happends. the bar just keeps going and never catches on anything. any suggestions?

Wll, you are going to either have to take the engine cover off and have a look, or get a mechanic to look at it. There could be stripped/broken parts in there that need replacing, or the mechanism may just need a realignment. Did you do any work to the engine before it broke? Was it making any strange sounds or intermittently not catch before it totally went caput?

 

it was just givven to me for freee. and it was doing that when i got it. i havnt had it running yet..

 

Unfortunately, not much that can be done over the net. You are just going to have to open her up, figure out what parts need replacing, and go for it..

 

do you know any websigts that will tell me exactly what to take off to get to it?

 

What you need to do is either get your hands on a Kawasaki service manual for it, or pick up a Clymer manual. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a downloadable version online for cheap or free. Otherwise it should be pretty straightforward. You will need to remove the kickstart lever from the shaft it turns. Then remove the engine sidecover. Many times this will require you to remove the brake lever/footpegs/ or a number of other things. I am not familiar enough with the Mojave to say what needs to come off but that should become evident as you look at it.

 

thanks for your help i got the cover off today but i cant tell whats wrong with it so i have a mechanic coming over tomorrow to take a look and hopefully fix it

 

OK, hopefuuly it will be something easy and cheap.
