So I’ve been fooling around with my 1980 xs400 and I’m just about ready to throw the damn thing on Craigslist and have it become someone else’s problem.
The bike ran like a top when I first got it. The starter is bad so I have to kick start it, no big deal.
I decided to ride it to the mailbox to grab the mail and it proceeded to stall and die on me (May be close to out of gas, again no big deal).
I put it in neutral and go to kick start it but my kick start is stuck. Put the bike into gear and rock it a few times, kick start becomes unstuck. Start it and it dies again and the kick start becomes stuck again as if the engine froze.
What do I do?
