Hi, newbie here. I'm sending this more in hope than expectation - I think I already know the answer!
Does anyone know if the kickstarter return spring on an ETZ 125 can be reset/replaced without removing the clutch? It's always been floppy, and when I had the engine cover off to repair/reset the tachometer drive I inadvertently wound it back past its stop on the crankcase. Once wound back the right way, the end of the spring which goes into the kickstarter shaft seems to have either broken or just slipped out. It creates some tension on the clockwise starter stroke, but then slips again so won't return. I can't see the inner end of the spring, of course, as it's under the kickstarter sprocket on the back of the clutch drum. Winding it round very slowly while wiggling it and hoping it would fall back into the slot on the shaft hasn't worked. Needless to say, I have neither the specialist puller nor the expertise to remove the clutch!
While we're at it, though I've done the cylinder/piston, brakes and fork seals, now I've reached the end point of my limited mechanical expertise. Is anyone aware of someone good I could pay to do the more technical jobs on the MZ in the London area?
Cheers - Sean
