I need help with my honda 300,

when the engine is cold the kick start doesn't turn the engine over, everyonce and a while it will just barley turn it over then it just stops and requires no pressure it basically just falls. Then about 20 kicks later I would barley turn it over again,

I know it's not a valve or compression problem it runs fine when started with electric start.

Could my one way bearing be going bad, the only thing that confused Me is the kick start works perfectly fine once the engine is warm. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you one way is bad.

When metal is warm, it expands. When cold, it contracts.

So what you likely have is a bearing that, when warm, expands just enough to provide friction, and when cold, does not.

Alrighty that's what I thought I just wanted to make sure, I guess that's the next job for my old bike

Thanks for you help
