I'm working on my kick-starter(case) and read in the maintenance manual that when the kick-starter is in it's upright position the stop pin is rubber cushioned.
The rubber piece is missing in mine, I opened another and it's also missing in that one.

I couldn't find it in the parts list. Is this a part that can be ordered, or do you just make it yourself?

The rubber content of these dissolves in oil and grease over time.
possibly the metal case is still there?

Probably Russells are your best bet.
I've seen them on ebay from time to time.

Its worth checking the fit of the centre part in the middle caseing as they often crack and/or work loose without the stop.

Thanks Ken. It's only the rubber that is missing, the metal stop is still there.
I can understand the rubber dissolves. Is the rubber a critical part? If it dissolves there must be a lot of them riding around without it.
I guess the rubber is there to dampen the hit from the kick-starter.

I would think that a barrel turned from appropriate plastic would do just as well. Recently bought a couple of NOS on eBay for a few quid apiece.

What I have looks like a full metal pin. I thought the rubber was supposed to be around it, looking at the picture in the manual.
But is it a metal bush with the rubber inside it?

My gearbox is 1947..

Yes its a thin metal surround with rubber in it.

The idea about making one our of nylon or some other similar stuff is a good one

Hi Menno,

ITS a iron ring with rubber in it hou SER them sometimes on EBay.

They're all like that, sir.

Menno,

If you are located in the Netherlands "De Engelse Motorwinkel" has these rubber stops, part number 320-X-1 price €9,-.
Only problem is that the minimum order amount is €25,-.

Regards,
Peter

Thanks!
