Murph,

The sprag clutch (KTM name it the “roller free wheel” ) in the electric start system locked up towards the end of the Friday Cells ride. Possibly due to a backfire. Had to take out one of the intermediate gears to stop the starter motor from permanently spinning at about a million revs. Actually the engine wouldn’t start as it would try to fire but couldn’t get enough speed to allow the auto decomp to disengage. Waiting on new part should be here tomorrow or Thursday.

Will do a report with photos tomorrow.

Adam.
