My 91 fourtrax was needing an oil change and so i decided it was a good time to remove the right side cover and clean the oil screen. After all how hard could it be. Well the first thing that I noticed was as I was removing the cover the mark that I made on the spline for the kick started rotated 90 degrees as I was sliding off the cover. Next the entire kick started assembly was being removed with the cover. And of course when I finally did get it off I had several pieces that were not where they were originally, Got most of the put back figured out, I think! Kick starter goes back in and the return spring hooks over an "ear" in the casting. However, can’t set the reference (marked where the kick start lever was attached) mark where it was originally. Also the clutch lifter plate, clutch cam lifter and the ball retainer were laying in the bottom of the cover as well as a flat washer. Think I know where they go but not sure which side the spring goes on at the ball retainer. Advise and help from the group would be appreciated. Not sure about the parts staying in-place while I replace the cover either. Oh and the screen was pretty clean to boot!
Thanks for your help, again!
