Aprilia sr50 problem with kickstarter

[zafirovski96]

Hi so i re-painted my aprilia sr50 R engine cover. As usual you do have to take off the kickstarter in order to sand it down correctly and apply new paint.
After everything re-installed ( i've had a ton of trouble fitting the kick starter spring ) i've tried to start the bike but something scratches inside like non-stop. 
Took of the cover to see what is wrong, and saw that there is a big mark on the variator plastic fan ( like in the middle big line ). It looks like something is scratching the fan as the bike is running. 
Did a re-fit again, did a double check to see if everything is in place, put the cover back on and after starting it there was the same scratching again , but this time i did a little push on the kick starter towards inside and the scratching was gone. It seems like there is a small loose on the kick starter .
Has anyone had a similar problem like or can you give me clue on what to look for. 
I forgot to mention that the bike runed perfectly before . My battery runed out so i have to start it on the kick starter during the winter.


Thanks

I'm not familiar with your scoot's kickstart, but sometimes there's a washer/spacer on the outside. If so, maybe that's missing and allowing the assembly to go in enough to touch the pulley.

I'm in agreement with Brent to re spacer.

I thought that too until he said pushing in on it makes the noise go away. It almost as if a washer or spacer is missing.

Most likely between the inside of the case and the k/s assembly. I shall look see if I can find a diagram

No can't find anything that show's a spacer on inside

First of all thanks to everyone that replied on my thread.
The problem was not putting the kickstarter gear back enough. After fitting the spring there is still some space left for the gear to go in place. After fitting it in i putted the washer on the front and after that everything was working pefrectly.
