Strong Kickstart Pedal

[Bilko]

I've knackered the splinds on my kickstart (I take it this is unfixable) So I'm looking for a good strong one as I don't want a plasticine one.

Any recommendations?

Thanks Mark, he's out of stock at the moment, but I'll look around.

avoid the ones with bobbles on the pedal bit, they seem to bend if used too much...

After trying the SIL ones, and a Vietnamese one, before, I'd avoid them both (particularly the Vietnamese which was a total joke).

I keep an eye on ebay for original ones that look dirty and rusty. They tend to go quite cheap. In my experience, however knackered they look, they grip the shaft splines fine.

Casa make one. It's about £60 I think but I've never heard any feedback from someone who's bought one.

That's what mine was. I got about a dozen goes before the splinds disappeared. Though to be fair, as with almost everything that's failed on the 250 build it was probably my fault.

At least I got to hear the engine fire up a couple of times.

I have a Spanish one. Rock solid steel amigo. I can have any of the other Spanish machine users to verify this. If you want one I have several spare.
