Post subject:	1980 CR250 kick starter lever issues
My 1980 CR250 kick starter is getting really weak after 30 years of abuse. It doesn't want to stay in like it once did and flops around. I am affraid it will come out at the worst time. A rubber band is an option to keep it in, but I am hoping for more. I was wondering if anyone knows of a person/company that rebuilds the kick start lever? Maybe there is someone who makes new ones? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike

Go to the swap meet section and do a seach for "kickstarter".

I found a guy or should I say he found me about repairing the CR kickers. His name is Robert Boucher (612-729-0481) and he comes highly recommended for repairing the 78-80 CR250 kick start levers. I spoke to him the other night and he is not doing any work until the fall/winter time frame. He also went through his machining process that tightens them up. I hope to be the first in line this fall when he fires up the old mill again....... I sure hope this helps some others? Mike

Yep. Same guy I talked to. Very nice and very detailed in what he does. I also will be sending my kickstarter to him when the time comes.
