Hi Rowley and welcome to the site.
Not sure what you mean by "gears tightening", but assume it means you were using the kick start to get the piston to top dead centre on compression before starting.
Are you saying there is no felt compression anymore or just not starting?
Have you got fuel to the carby?
Is there spark at the spark plug when you kick it over?
