Hi, Please HELP!
For my 1975 850 MK3 starter gear I would so appreciate certainty on the correct sprag orientation. Looking straight from the primary side of the bike: 1. Thrust Washer (Part 18 - 06-5828) Does the stepped with grooves side face OUT towards me (nesting into the starter gear recess), or should the flat side face OUT towards me? See photos attached
2. Sprag Roller Bearing (Part 21 - 06-4733): see photo. There are no directional markings on the shell. Does the outer shoulder/lip face IN towards the crankcase, or OUT towards me? (See Photo 3)Just want to get the physical faces right. So muchThanks in advance for the clarity!
