When I use my rotostart it will turn my motor over like 3-4 times but then it will slip. I'm pretty sure that it is my one way bearing. Or could it be a chipped gear in the rotostart module that is on the back of my motor? (this is probably very unlikely though)

-Thanks
 
It does sound like the OWB. Be sure to check the condition of the starter shaft too. Once my OWB started to noticeably slip, the starter shaft was chewed up as well.
 
if your exhaust leaks at the header it will drip oil into the owb making it slip, if thats the case you just seal the leak and clean your owb
