So I've had my '09 Bull on the backbench, waiting for funds to finish the project up. Because I buggered up the end of main gearshaft replacing the sprag clutch, the engine needs to have a complete rebuild to replace that (Even though it's in my notes as being a reverse thread, I must have wrenched the nut holding the clutch on the wrong way). Thankfully funds for gaskets and seals and other things might finally be coming my way.
I've always wanted to add a kick start. I'm still miffed as to why it was never there.
From my understanding, what I need to do in order to add this is as follows:
Drill hole in RH case. The case already has a boss, so putting in an oil seal SHOULD be of no problem.
Order and add/assemble part 570804 (Kick starter shaft assembly) - This SHOULD include all of the parts required for the internal assembly, as I understand the parts book.
That takes care of the assembly, I would think. Next it's just the kick starter arm and related bits:
141051 - Hex Nut M8
570259/D - Circlip 10
140201 - Ball Dia. 6.35
570814/C - Boss, Kick Start Crank
111914 - Hex Bolt, M8X40
570257/B - Spring
570815/B - Pin
570808/C - Lever Kick Start
145157/A - Sleeve, Kick Start Lever
570807/C - Kick Start Crank Assembly
I'll order said parts as soon as I can afford them (I have no idea of the cost right now), but are obscure internal Enfield parts reasonably available? I don't mind waiting for a delivery from India, but it'd be a pain to find that the parts are still unobtainium.
Can anybody see flaws in my plan? Is there anything missing? Does the kick starter gear just attach to the main gearshaft to turn it over?
Can anybody tell me what size the hole I'll be drilling in the RH case will need to be? If not, I suppose I'll just work that out when I eventually order all of the parts, but this isn't of course the most preferable method.
These parts were referenced from
http://images.royalspares.com/part_manual/combined_uce_may2012/Previous to finding this parts book, all I had access to was a very good PDF I'd found, which contained the images in the parts book for the parts, but not the part numbers themselves.
After everything arrives I'll make sure that I photograph all of the steps and do a step by step write up of the conversion, and report all costs. It does sound pretty simple, but I'd hate to miss something!
