[QUOTE="PoppaBear, post: 196299, member: 16804"] After splitting the cases on the K1, replacing the 3 speed with a 4 speed, and cleaning things up I happened upon this surprise. The Kick Start Shaft C-clip, between the pinion gear and the LH case (#9 on the diagram, right side of #1), was missing an ear! My ChannellLock snap ring pliers were useless on it. Needed to Dremel the clip in half to remove it. It pays to inspect and/or R&R everything on the kick shaft, especially in this situation. By the way, this is the first time the cases have ever been split on this K1. Judging from the cracked metal, it looks like it was broken for a very long time. I wonder what happened to the rest of the C-clip that broke off. No evidence of it anywhere in the cases...
