Starter Clutch Inspection

• Remove: Torque Limiter Cover (see Torque limiter Removal)
• Turn the torque limiter [A] by hand. The torque limiter should turn forward freely [B], but should not turn backward.

If the starter clutch does not operate as it should or if it makes noise, go to the next step.

• Disassemble the starter clutch, and visually inspect the clutch parts.

If there is any worn or damaged part, replace it.

Examine the drive gear [C] as well. Replace the clutch gear if it is worn or damaged.
