yeah... might as well. Hopefully I can get it shipped at the same time as the reverse module that I've been waiting for for a month

I put a little 3in1 oil on and around the bearing, hope that's okay. I'm assuming most of the oil in there when I opened it up was from fuel so it should relubricate itself. It really didn't feel bad even before I cleaned it just seeing if I could get the shaft to rotate when it wasn't supposed to, but obviously it was slipping somehow when I actually pulled the starter. I couldn't get it to slip once after reassembling so either way it's better and I still have the replacement shaft and bearing just in case.
cool! Thanks! Yeah I had an "aha" moment when I realized it had a bunch of little rollers on the inside which stick when it turns one way and not the other. I guess if the shaft and rollers get too greasy it will let it slip in both directions instead of only the one it is supposed to! I get it!
O-way's are a little different from a pull starter an one that's in a transmission on their job!
I run a greaseless tranny in my Mgt. because the grease or lube will leach in on the o-way
bearing an fry it.
But a pull starter ,theres not enough constant slippage to fry it!...
