You can fix it very easy as long as you have a standard bb laying around its almost free, if you take the spring and ball out of the kick start perch, you will notice the ball bearing is very simmaler to a brass or copper bb. While you have it apart grease the joint up really good but not where the spring and ball go.. if you take the ball bearing put it in first, in the order you took it out, and add that brass or copper bb n there as a spacer, it will give the spring more pressure and will in turn solve your problem.. put it all back together and you should be good to go, I know there's a video of the prossess fliating around somewhere ill try and find it for you.. best of luck!!
