74 Mag kick starter help

Can any help me by describing the proper method to preloading the kick starter mechanism prior go mounting the side case back on the motor. When pulled the cover off to replace the clutch the kicker mechanism unwound and being the dumb shit that I am I can't seem to be ble to get pre wound prior yo installation back onto the block...

Thanks in advance for your time..

Realize this is not for your 74, but here is HuskyDoggs video for the later models that may help:

I thank you a bunch for taking the time to post this for me however my Mag is totally different and I'm entirely sure if the same method holds true for my Mag

...I have our first race of the season tomorrow morning nd figured installing a new clutch pack was in order never dreaming that I would not be able to figure out the secrets to the kick starter mechanism.....so bummed ....jeez....what a dumb ass I turned out to. be...frustrating as all get out, not to mention a bit embarrassed ...

On second thought and after watching this a few mote times, this may be exactly what I need to do. I'm going to try it and find out. I can say that my spring is most certainly tired if the misaligned ends holds true for my Mag as in this example...more to follow. Thank you again for making the effort to help me. I appreciate it ....

Keep in mind next time you pull the clutch cover...both the shift lever and the kick start lever stay in place on their shafts...they do not get removed to pull the cover off!
That helps keep things a bit simpler.
Hope you made the race!

I did not make the race but I'm sure glad you made that point to me Richard....it will be something I will not soon forget. Black Eddy isn't very far from me...
Thanks
