STARTER CLUTCH

tance is felt while turning the starter driven gear, inspect the

which contacts the starter clutch, for wear or damage. If any
wear or damage is found, replace the defective part(-s).

Inspect the gearshift shaft oil seal's lip for damage or wear.
If any defects are found, replace the oil seal with a new one.
