Hello all,
I think my 75 E-Start sprag clutch bit the dust but was hoping to get some confirmation before I lay out $200. Went to start the bike this morning with the e-start and it turned over fine. Went to do the same a bit later and heard a loud snap. The e-start motor spun, but the engine didn't turn over. Tore apart the primary and found this:
It looks like the little sprags / bearings dealies are pointing in the wrong direction. Can anyone confirm this and provide a little info on how/why sprag clutches fail and if I need to look elsewhere for secondary problems this may have caused?
Thanks,
