i have the stock motor in it and i keep having a problem with the one way bearing. i have taken it apart like 4 times and i made sure i cleaned it well in detrieted (how ever u spell it) alcohol. it works fine for a few starts been then it only catches for like a second. i also noticed that when i take it aparts their is always a ton of oil on it. so i was wondering if there is any seals in these engines or if is just from running rich, because i also have a problem with some fuel squirting out from the back of the fly wheel. does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks.
o i forgot to add that it has a new one way bearing
 
Yup, there's too much oil getting on your one way.
Look on line for the exploded view of your engine, if you don't have the manual, and see about getting a new seal kit, or bushings/bearings for it.
 
ok thanks, I'm goin to order some new bearings and wat not for it. could running it rich also do that? because a guy at the lhs said that when ran really rich the spew oil everywhere. i also had a problem starting it kept spitting out alot of raw fuel when i tried starting it a few times but it wasn't flooded. do you know wat could cause this? before i put it away i run it in big space to clear it out
 
Running too rich would cause excess oil and fuel to spew out of the exhaust.
Oily one way bearing and leaks around the flywheel are caused by worn bushings or bearings, and bad gaskets.
 
I did this to my Savage and it's been a time saver. Drill a small hole in your roto start cover that is in-line with the I.D. of the owb, Just big enough to fit a spray straw from a cleaner/Wd-40 can. Also drill a small hole in the bottom for a drain. Then when the owb slips, just insert the straw and give it a squirt. When this method doesn't work, then it's time to replace the owb. At this point they usually fall apart when you remove them.
