Hi Folks, i thought I would put this up as a new thread because I searched on here for something similar by a previous poster but couldn't find anything
As I mentioned on my build thread, I need to replace the step-starter return spring on my H-D 20F. I had a quick look at it today and what I initially thought might be simple small job might be a bit more work than I initially thought. On a later boxes that I am used to the starter arm comes off the shaft and the gearbox end cover then slips off over the shaft. However on this bike the shaft and starter arm are one piece.
My question is: Do I need to take the box out of the bike and disassemble it to replace the return spring? The gearbox is the only bit of this bike that I haven't had apart so before I tear into it I thought I would ask for any tips from those more experienced with these boxes.
Its not urgent, I intend to get to this properly in the coming few weeks over the Christmas period.
Pictures of the box and the worlds most expensive spring below.
