Starting shaft problem
I'm having trouble starting my r60. If I apply normal pressure the starting shaft spins freely. If I push down while starting I can get it to crank. What do u think is wrong

Hey Clammster: Sorry to hear your having trouble. Is this a problem that just came up, or was it after you replaced the clutch?? If it just showed up, then 1 or 2 things could be wrong. Either your one way bearings on the top of the clutch are wearing out, or your starter shaft is wearing out, thus causing it not to engage unless you apply downward force through the starter shaft. Do you have a lot of up and down play in the starter shaft? If not, and you should'nt, then one of the 2 problems is occuring. Maybe someone else has a different idea, but then again, thats just my 2 cents worth. Hope you get it figured out, and good luck to ya

Did you grease the one way bearing? If so, there is your problem....
Take the clutch assembly back out and clean out the one way with an aerosol carburetor cleaner, then lightly oil with automatic transmission fluid, 3n1 oil, or any other very light, low viscosity oil.
