INSPECTING STARTER CLUTCH/GEAR
1. Place the starter clutch gear onto the rotor/flywheel
and attempt to rotate the starter clutch gear clock-
wise. It should lock up to the rotor/flywheel. Rotate
the gear counterclockwise and it should turn freely. If
it moves or locks up both ways, the starter clutch
must be replaced.
2. Inspect the starter clutch gear for chipped or missing
teeth or discoloration/scoring of the clutch surface.
Inspect the bearing for loose, worn, or discolored
rollers. If bearing is damaged, it must be replaced.
