i've got a 78 dt 175. i thought it was seased but i srayed wd-40 in the cylinder and i can kick it now. after about 20 kicks the kick starter won't go down. I believe the problem is the kick starter and not the engine. does anyone have a diagram of how to take apart a kickstarter?

thanks

If you had to spray WD-40 into your cylinder to get it to kick over it may have seized. When you put the bike in a higher gear and roll the bike and let out the clutch will the engine turn over then. If it doesn't I would pull the cylinder and inspect the piston.
