Lambretta Li150 S3 kickstart issue

[kurtminus]

Hi All.

My 65’ Li150 doesn’t always start with the kick when cold. It always starts with a bump start down a hill, and I can always kick start it when it’s already warm.

Someone suggested I check the play on the kick before it engages. Sure enough it has quite a bit of play before it engages.

So I pulled the cover to check the ramp adjustment. I adjusted the ramp just like the instructions but it still has a fair amount of play. Does this seem normal?

Here’s photos of the amount of play before the kick engages, and the current adjustment of the ramp.
