kickstarter won't engauge

[cmskdx]

I have a 90 kdx 200 and it has been starting fine until I changed the the oil in the trans . I'm not sure what was in it but iput 10 40w back in it and that is when the problems start. It would skip once in a while but it just got cold here in the am and it did it even worse. then this morning it was 30 degress out and i couldn't get it to catch at all. when I finally got it started I rode fore 45 min and when I shut it of it engauged just fine every time . should I run 10 30w or someone on here said they use atf will that work?when it is warm it is fine and when it is cold it skips .? please help.

Try 5w30 oil. The lighter oil should solve your problem.

Some have much success with type f atf

Yep. That kickstart doesn't like thicker oils. If you put in a new ratchet, spur, and spring, it will fix the problem. As a band-aid, use thinner oil.
