  • Griffon Kickstart Spring and Ball

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I had no luck when I did a search on here. I just had my kickstarter re-chromed and I don't have the spring and ball that holds the kicker part in place. It would appear that the spring would be about 0.25"dia x 0.50" long with a 0.25"dia ball. Does this sound right? If someone knows the correct spec it would be appreciated.

    I think its just a matter if finding a ball & spring that will fit, the crucial bit is that the ball must be a good fit in the hole so that it will stay in with light peening of the hole. Try a local bike shop for a ball, they may also have a suitable spring as well. Spring needs to be strong enough to put enough pressure on the lever to keep it place when folded.
    One other tip, if the lever is worn & does not form a 90 degree angle with main shaft, a blob of weld on it will restore correct angle.
