I may have found what went clang during a kick start. There are two broken teeth that look like they came from the gears that connect the crank shaft to the sprag clutch. I have not located which gear yet, as that means removing the inner primary case to get at the back cover at the es motor. I have read many threads on the sprag and it appears that it is very easy to break either the sprag or one of the transfer gears.
My questions are:
1)If I do nothing, will the more teeth bust off like dominoes falling due to the constant connection to the crank shaft?
2) will the use of the electric start break off more teeth? I have not used the es in a while because of electrical issues. That is on the list to repair.
3) Is there an AVL inner primary replacement available with out the es riser? I don't want to do tapping and machining to adopt an older style Inner primary. My machine skills are not that good.
4) If I have to keep the inner primary as is, and the gears have to be replaced, then will an air rachet remove the torqued inner nuts without special tools?
5) I read somewhere about a replacement Ignition module for lean burn engines. I'm still unclear if this is a lean burn or not. Can any body tell me? And, if so, what do I order to replace the module to a green one? If not a LB, will the green module help?
I am not looking forward to pulling out the clutch. The thing that bothers me about all this possible replacement is that it can happen again very easily.
