Thanks, this is incredibly helpful! I tried all ways of relieving the pressure on the shaft and it was clear that the greater the tightness of the spring the more the level of stiffness in the crank return. The kickstart shaft runs free without the spring, but there is substantial movement about the axis so something inside is not supporting it adequately. So it seems correct that the stiffness is due to the spring putting a twist on the shaft that it causing it to bind. With the instructions you have provided on the gearbox I will quickly find out the cause.
I will advise, many thanks!

Cheers, Chris
