As I was taking my FC550 2001 apart to rebuild the crank area, I found something that did not seem normal. That was the gear mash or profile of the gear teeth on the kick starter gear(pos 17, part no 230096-01) did not match the profile of the gear(pos 8, part no 230015-01) and the clutch hub gear(pos 20, part no 230002-01).
I have call afew shops about this and they could not verify that this is correct or a manufacture error.
If anyone that may know the answer or has their motor apart could tell me if this is the same on other motors, please let me know.
It has not damage the needle bearing on the shafts, but it does cause the gears to bind when turned by hand, This could make some noise when running.
