Sin Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Right well i have had my engine in bits today, just having a look make sure it was ok. And i was checking the owb, and it seems to turn the engine when it is at the top of its stroke, in both directions. And I think this is why my engine buggered up the other pullstart, and why my drill won't start it (i got a second of life today, it actually produced smoke !!, but then the usual noise came from he drill and it stopped ) Video: http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y241/9800...t=MOV001131.flv Also a picture to look at, are the black lines around it normal ?? Thanks Alot guys (Please change this to bearing mods lol am an idiot) Edited November 26, 2007 by Sin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 u shud if u turn the OWB anticlockwise find it slips, and doesn't turn the engine over - as this is the way the pull start goes when its going back in However If u find when you turn it clockwise - and it slipping as in its turning but not moving anything then yes its dead However dont just blame the OWB, the starter shaft by showing it has a shiny part and a black ring might mean the shaft has also become worn out Typical wear and tear tbh mate, and you might just have to pay for them, before it gets beyond a joke Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I thought it sounded like the owb was slipping like i told you:whistling: Try wd40 on it or clean it in nitro fuel if it still slips then yeah get the lot then your sorted. marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Yeah mate the shaft looks tired to me.Get em both it'll save you £££s in the longrun... Edited November 26, 2007 by Mr Terminator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 ye think am gonna have to, although i can't find that shaft on its own anywhere.... I'll try some grease on the owb itself and not just on the shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 yeah, so u think starter shaft and owb ??? I've just had a similar problem, I thought it was the OWB or shaft but whenever I took the engine out and took the Roto-start backplate off and turned it, it never slipped - NEVER. So I would clean everything off and put it all back together only to have it slip again (intermitent though - the engine always started eventualy) in the end it was only just the OWB and not the shaft as its a new engine and they are tight and the OWB dosent seem to like lots of Roto-start. So if its a new or newish car, can it really be the shaft - don't waste your money untill your sure. OWB can be '~#*^'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
