Franco Morini M1K Kickstart Spring.

Can anyone help find a seller of the kickstart spring for the Franco Morini M1K engine shown in the attached picture. It is on a BSA Junior childs bike from around 1980. The kickstart is depressed in a backwards motion rather than the forward kick motion.

I am trying to get this bike on the road for a Christmas present, so far with no luck.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your post Stephen. I have emailed doscyles. The spring in the link to ebay is not the right one as the M1K spring is external not internal as in the ebay pic. Regards Mark

I suppose you have already taken a few measurements and gone to your local hardware to see if they have a spring that you could adapt .

Even though the spring tips might have different shapes than needed , they can be easily reshaped after applying a bit of heat .
