Good find Phil, I looked but it was using the correct terminology that I suppose counts. First pic though and he leaves the oil pump oring just hanging off the case, along with one of the dowels and it's oring, why?

I knew I'd seen it.

Oddjob:
Roo, on the off chance you might need them I'll throw in a complete primary drive hub as well as the starter motor end caps.

I'll check the hub first to see if the springs and rollers look ok as well as the surface where they engage.

Bryanj:
Not sure if i read it right but the big gear you see through the hole the starter fits in is supposed to spin free one way and lock up to turn the engine the other, thats how the sprag clutch works

Sesman:
That’s as I understand it. The engine speed overcomes the stater rotation speed overtaking and disengaging the starter drive. A nasty noise will arise if the drive mechanism is slow to release, but release it must…eventually. I’m crossing my fingers for Roo hoping it’s just a bit of float in the starter shaft causing a suboptimal engagement under load. I do fear however that’s it’s the drive mech. It’s all guess work on my behalf mind.
