I'm lastly trying to resurrect this bike for my daughter.

I you look closely at the kickstarter... not only is it distinctly missing the rubber... but it's way out of alignment. This is due to the shaft and the kickstarter being severely stripped.
It looks as though the PO may have tried to weld it on. If so... the weld has breaked and it has since slipped off its adjustment.
I check eBay every now and then... From the top of my head but very few KV75 parts ever come up there. Can anyone recommend an aftermarket kickstarter for this bike or a more permanent fix? I measured the shaft to be about 20mm in daimeter.
Also, can anyone recommend a decent (read cheap) trail bike that can haul around an old pharte who's spent the last 20 years riding on the street? If I am to have my son and daughter riding trails... I'd like to be able to keep an eye on them.
Many thanks!
