Just a word of warning. Tecate kick levers are not particularly strong, especially when you get kick back. The kick boss--the part that bolts on the shaft--will snap where it inserts into the lever. I broke two of them when rewinding my ignition coil and couldn't get it right. They are a discontinued part, too, so they can be hard and expensive to track down. I stopped experimenting with the ignition after breaking two of them. It got too expensive.
