So I have a 1986 Big Red. Absolutely love it but she is sick. I have always been able to fix her up on my own regardless of the issues. Now I am stumped. The kickstart is slipping, I have ordered a replacement one way clutch for that issue.
Tried the e start and I heard a horrible screeching sound. Pulled it off and the starter gears were stripped smooth! The gears inside the reduction cover seemed fine. It is the original starter but has been rebuilt with new brushes once.
What causes stripped starter gears? :wondering
I think I will go ahead and get a used one way clutch for the e start as well but I wanted your opinion on what was going on so I could order parts ahead of tearing it down.
Thanks
