IF you don't want to use the kick start, you don't "need" it. Just keep the outside part so you don't have a big oil leak!

As long as you have the kick start boss installed (held on with 3 bolts), then you can install the outer shaft in it, and then thru the clutch housing without it leaking oil. It will be immobilized without those inner gears installed though. I eliminated my kick starter altogether by passing a 1/2" carriage bolt with a rubber washer thru the clutch housing, and a washer and lock nut on the inside. Got rid of the entire shaft. Did that 5 yrs. ago, no leaks. HTH2H7 (79) owned since '89
