Sounds like the return spring may have become unhitched. Bike probably won't start as you're unable to give it a proper kick over.

Do you mean it just kicks round then stops 'dead' at the bottom of it's pivot point?

well ive finally got the bike started and running but the kick start is still getting stuck. what happens is when i kickstart the bike, it returns a little and then stops. if i push it up with my hand it will return back to the top point as normal. its does not do this on every kick but does most times. i hope that makes sense and someone can possibly help me fix this problem. its was fine with no problems at all up until i left the bike for 2 weeks without starting it
