In the mornings, or when the engine is cold, I hit the start button, and the starter just spins..It will catch every now and then, but when it does, it releases after a couple of revolutions and spins...Removed side cover, removed sprag clutch and housing, outer perimeter of housing has dark brown "stain" all the way around the circumference of the housing...as if it got REALLY HOT. I actually took a good whiff of the sprag clutch, and it had a definite "burnt" smell to it if that means anything...The sprag clutch itself, LOOKS okay, and will rotate in one direction only. Did a very good Detailed Visual Inspection of all gears, and engine case, all still in "Like New" condition...At 65,000 miles, I think it would be a good idea to replace any parts or plates in the clutch while Im in there, but have no idea where to get the special tool that's required...$247 for the sprag clutch/housing, and the gasket...Need to buy friction plates I think, for the clutch basket....Any good sources to buy these clutch plates? Called FastEddy a few days ago, went to voicemail, left a message...Thanks for the help guys, ya'll are STILL the best!
