What do you mean "it won't go into 1st gear"?
The gear lever won't move?
Or there's nothing there when you select it?
Can you get the other gears?
A little more detail will help.

Hi Tinkertramp,
Please reply back, as said.... we need more info.
Has the bike been unused for ages?
Does engine run well and the foot pedal is seized? Or pedal stays down when 1st is selected?
Oil in engine?
Are you familiar with c90 Cubs? 1st gear is one down .... pushing the front of the pedal.
Give us some clues and we should be able to advise and sort you out.
Cheers Andy.
