Just a small misnomer, I call it that too, you should equate it to your right side transmission cover. Are you feeling resistance when you pull in the hand lever? With the derby cover off can you see the movement of the pushrod acting on the plate? Probable the 3 piece bearing needs replacing. You can look through the filler cap to check condition and observe operation.

Does the pushrod slide out the left side after removing the adjusting screw and nut? If so, you lost the little e-clip under the right side tranny cover. It holds your throw-out bearing, washers and oil slinger in place. Happened to mine last year.

NOT stooping to liberal terminology because new riders who has no idea that is the original location of the kicker cover location

in the real world its a kicker cover - electric start is another issue - if you cant kick - buy an effen Twinkie and go someplace else
