The oneway bearing in the starter may need to be cleaned.
Some o-ways are in the starter housing,an some are inside the engine.
O-ways really dont like to be soaked with fluid or grease!

Firstly, it sounds like your one way bearings gone. Try taking off the pull start, then lightly scratching the drive shaft with a steel wool pad- it should roughen it up and give the bearing a bit more grip.

Scratching up the shaft is not the first remedy. A good cleaning of the bearing and the shaft with Denatured Alcohol is.

Agreed, try that first.
