Seems like one of two things....either you do not have the bike in neutral or you have something binding. Have of this will be easy to rule out.
What have you done/fixed on your kicker assembly?

nd it is in neutral it seems if i put any pressure on the kicker,somethings not moving,pain in the *** winding up the spring and then trying to hold thedowel pin at 7:00,,,the book says 7:00 from the inside,I hope i'm just doing something wrong

Just a thought... the spring attached and wound it can be a bit tricky getting everything aligned at the proper position. You might consider removing the spring and kicker arm, putting the cover on and then putting the spring and kicker arm back on.
Doesn't sound like anything but alignment of gears
