My '85 ATC250ES has a problem with the one way clutch for the kickstarter. When I got the trike the kicker would only work about half the time, the other half of the time it would just freewheel. I took the clutch cover off and determined that the problem was in the one-way clutch.
The first thing that I realized was wrong was the the LH thread nut that hold the centrifugal clutch assembly on was loose and coming off. I pulled the centrifugal clutch off and took the one-way clutch out. It fell apart when it came out. All the little rollers came out of the cage. It doesn't seem like there's anything damaged, but everything that I can find seems to say that the one way clutch is supposed to be an assembly that stays together. Anyone have any insight?
