[QUOTE="j1mmy, post: 5353, member: 287"] I was all set to go on my maiden voyage and ran into problems with my 73 CT 3 speed and it wouldn't start. I had a friend show me the ropes on the engine rebuild. New 88cc kit from TB, new timing chain, new valves, valve seats, guides, gaskets, carb kit with larger jets (62 I think), hi flow oil pump, clutch discs. My brass inlet in the carb leaks and I'm not sure if its my epoxy repair or the little plug towards the front of the carb thats seaping. I'll have to remove the carb and do a little more repair but this is the least of my worries. When I was kick starting it, it sound fine except for every 3rd or 4th kick sound a little strange like something wasn't engaged on that down stroke. Then, a few minutes later, every other down stroke it made a high pitched slipping, grinding sound. My gut says its the kick start shaft but I want your opinion on this. When I hear this awful sound I can hear the motor turning at the same time. Any ideas on what the awful popping, high pitched grinding sound might be? [/QUOTE]
