I just put in a new starter on my quad. Well turns out my one way bearing is also out so I just ordered a new one from Honda Taylor. I am curious as is if there is anyway to start it even with the one way bearing out(electricly). All the gears just spin is the problem and the one way clutch doesn't disengage. I also went to try and push start it and had no luck with that. I pushed it down a hill, and let go of the clutch and it turned over once, and it just skidded the rest of the way. The rest of the times it just skidded. Is there anyway to start this up while I wait or a temp fix for the one way bearing?

BTW: Should I be able to turn my flywheel over bolth ways by hand?

 

try putting it in 2nd or third gear with the choke on while push starting.....or tie a rope to it and have a buddy pull you off......should jump start whether or not one way works or not...gl

 

Had it in second, let go of the clutch. I did this down a grass hill so my tires may have slipped instead of grab traction... or my clutch may be going out. My tires are pretty bald.

 

Looks like my keyway might be sheared. A lot of metal shavings gonna take a look right now.

 

It sounds like you should quit messing around until ALL your parts come in. You dont want to do long term damage for short term gain.
