"The Basement Build!" 1973 Cb350F

If you pull the kick starter assembly there is a spring on the inside. If you look in the hole where the assembly slides in there is a pocket at about the 10 o'clock position that the tab on the inner spring slides into.

If you don't get that tab seated you'll have a limp kick starter. No one wants limp kick starter.

Found the 10 o'clock tab, The spring is sitting how in that pocket in the pictures, how i assume it would supposed to be, since it would keep some tension on the kickstarted to bring it back up after a downward kick.

Tyler,
Have you tried slipping that kickstart lever onto the splined kickstart shaft while the clutch cover is off just to see if you have any initial tension on the lever?,not that you would try to kick it over but just see if it has tension by moving the lever down an inch or two. That should give you a good indication of spring tension.  :)

I don't know if this will help but I was flipping through my manual and found myself on the kick starter page so I thought I'd send it your way. Best of luck

Just received word my carbs will be done soon, So tomorrow My friends and I will move her out of the Basement and inside where I can reinstall everything and get her ready to rumble.  I will have everything set so all I have to do is throw in the carbs and Hit the Starter.  Things should begin moving pretty quickly from here on out. 

Heres just a little teaser, I treated myself throwing on a few things to see how she looks.

The basement was all pictures before the bike with the tires on,  I took it out of the basement with the frame and engine and front end.  Reassembled in a building ( Hall ) next door that my dad owns.  It won't stay there to long though!  I Just have to set points ( still a little confused on that to be honest, and Align the rear tire ) then as soon as the carbs come in we are good to go!  He is doing a few custom touches to them as well!

Tyler,
How does your service manual explain it? the reason I ask is because some manuals have a little different way.

If you are referring to the points, basically line up the marks, and set the gap with the screws for each point.

Well, sorta confused I guess.  Tomorrow ill put on the tank pads, battery and pipes all ready for those carbs! Im so excited to ride her!  But I am kinda liking the no exhaust look, defiantly more cafe then the 4into4.  Makes me want to find a decent 4into1 !!

When I first started adjusting points I Always thought it was strange that the points will fire the cylinders on the instant they 'open'...,huh ? I didn't think that was logical but it's true.  ;)

Pipes and knee pads on.  Really liking the painted exhaust collars, I think they go well with the rest of the painted parts on the bike. Wasn't sure how I would feel about the tank pads, but I really like them.  Basically set now as soon as the carbs come in!

Yep I have them, 2 sets actually,  that seat rip really makes me mad,  A ratchet strap broke when it was in my truck and it fell over!  I'm most likely going to stitch it up!

Wish I had more to update guys, For now i have just been sitting on her, cleaning and thinking of the day my freaking carbs will come in, as there was some sort of delay with shipping them.  Only thing thats bothering me is the oil light is staying on and refuses to go out.  Could this be because the bike sat with no oil for 3 weeks?  Would it go away when I finally start to ride?
