Make sure you have the plastic spacer groove lined up with the spring that goes into the shaft of the kickstart and that you have the shim on the shaft behind the gear on the shaft. It's binding up and wont retract. I just had that issue with my 93 and the plastic bushing wasn't lined up properly.
Johnnie I want to thank you for this writeup. Bought a basket case a month ago. I just got my engine together for the first time and noticed the kickstart slips. I will pull it back apart and check this out tomorrow. I glanced at it today and thought it looked fine so I checked everything else out and put it all back together and it still slips.
