Wow! I'm shocked you still come here  :-P

We’ll Tom Morgan wasn’t much help… I Found a machinist in town and the price for him to do the work is about the same cost as buying a new case half and the same amount of work for me. Eventually I will repair it probably with a new case (as new as I can get) and try motrman455’s suggestion on the old half. For now I’m looking into electric start just so I can ride it again. Thinking about it more it would probably be a good tool in racing the Baja. That race is so exaughting then last thing you want to be doing is attempting to kick over your 500 you just crashed and flooded. Would really like my kicker to work though.

Motorman445 any info on how you drilled and bushing’d that yourself would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

What type and size bit did you use to drill and what size bushing? I bought one, but may have to modify it. Did you jog weld it to get it to hold still?

Thanks.
