« Last post by R on July 25, 2025, 08:48:54 AM »So can you now kickstart it OK ?
Is that a fast click click, or slow
The chain contacting something could be a slow click,
but a fast one needs further investigation.
Even the tyre contacting something
Don't recall, is this bike new to you.
Some fettling is to be expected....
P.S That box is later than the CP expected for 1951 ?

The solution is to grind down the 1st tooth on the quadrant, and the 2nd tooth a bit.
Assuming you haven't reversed it from its original fitting.
Which can also be a fix.
Pulling the clutch in when this happens can also sometimes free things off.

And seeing if that makes any difference.
It sounds like the kickstarter is not meshed or located correctly.
Let me find the Ajay booklet to refresh the grey cells, if someone doesn't chime in sooner.

On a twin, you'd just swap the plug leads over.
But 4 stroke singles don't work like that.
