peice that turns OWB

[NITROMITE]

could this go bad i have replaced owb after owb but still no turn of engine? if i tilt the drill and add force i can get it to catch so i opened this part up ( 2 metal gears) wich looks good but are kinda sloppy! any thoughts

Is the direction of the OWB correct? If it is, then your OWB is probably slipping.

Most likely those parts are ok. They are usually obvious if they are bad. A couple of things to check:

1 If you are using your press and just swapping the bearing in the sleeve, check that the sleeve is tight on the new bearing. This is a big problem when swapping that way

2. Check the starter shaft the bearing is riding on. Wear of only .001"can cause headaches.

3. The obvious have to ask question(same as Coby) Are you putting the bearing on the right direction?

yes the bearing is on the right way, i put calipars to the new bearing and old, turns out the stock bearing is NOT a (6x10x12) the internet lies the bearing actually measures (6.23x10.19x11.83) this is a major problem. so any body trying this be verry careful No I have wraped up $50.00 just in a one way bearing by the time i go buy the $20.00 one from the hoby store

unless u have a suggestion on how i may be able it rigg the smaller ones i have i thought about jb weld or something!!! any ideas i have 10 of them i would like to use
