MOPED ARMY

Yes I know that after a certain speed the pedals do not "engage" any more or add anything in the way of propeling you forward and spin freely. My concern is that while on the kickstand or at a stop the pedals do not "engage" when I rotate forward. I'm curious as to whether something inside the transmission could cause this?

As I said, I have no problem pedal starting the motor and the pedals "engage" from a stop when the motor is off.

Thanks

Andrew
