I recently purchased a complete lt230s for$50. It was missing the kick starter gears which I got off eBay for $18. I’m trying to install the gears which after reading different threads about having it timed. I have it all timed but now it acts like engine is seized up but I know it’s not. What could be going on??? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

So the kick lever won't push down ? 

It's a pretty simple ratchet mechanism, I'd check that part was installed correctly and that that shaft could move and turn the engine, then I'd assemble the other shaft and gears..

No the kick lever won’t go down. I’ve had it apart several times. I took the clutch basket out to make sure the gears were binding and they were free spinning. So reinstalled the clutch basket, put cover on and kick lever won’t move

Yeah, with the cover off, push down on the kick lever by hand gently and try turning the clutch basket by hand or with a wrench to try and determine where it is binding, or what is going on. Im wondering if you got the correct gear, easy to get the wrong part off ebay, i know first hand, you have to look at the part very carefully.

After borrowing my buddy’s manual I got it figured out. Feeling like dummy I had everything timed EXCEPT for the kick start lever. After lining up the marks on the kick start shaft and gear everything works flawlessly. Thanks everyone for input!

      I finally got around to working on the TRX, this has been an ongoing problem with this machine. This is a machine that we keep on my Fathers property, i dont see it that often, my brother haad it professionally repaired last year and year before same problem, the new starter gears and bypass gears last about a year and the machine is not used that often, he said he was done with it , so i thought i should go take a look. Sure enough the gears were all malled again. 
       

       

      IMG_4910.mov   There is some slack in there but most is taken up by the gear cover,if anyone with history with these machines has had the same problem, let me know your findings. Where i am now im looking for finding replacement honda gears on Ebay and try those. I suspect the original was replaced with aftermarket gears years ago and they just worse quality as the years go by.
