That almost makes sense, except for the transmission part.
If it was truly seized, you wouldn't be able to kick it at all, let alone 3/4's of the way. If he's able to kick it 3/4's of the way repeatedly, the problem is more likely with the kickstarter itself (broken teeth, fucked up spring).

I'm thinking that there is enough play that the kick starter doesn't catch until the 3/4 mark, then doesn't budge.
If it were simply a fubar'd kicker, the electric starter should turn the motor.
Of course he may have "fully charged" a worthless battery and totally ruined my theory.
