[QUOTE="eyeguy, post: 3662, member: 1059"] Hi Chaps, a newbie here. I have a Egli Vincent which has been rebuilt using a Gosset Electric Starter kit. When I first started it it truly sounded like the worst bag of spanners ever, like it was about to explode. Which it duly did! The shear pin on the starter had sheared, so I made a new one and refitted the motor. Bag of spanners sound again and then....no contact, as if the motor was spinning following another shear. Removed motor, and my pin was still intact. Now, do you guys think that it might be the sprag clutch? Does anyone know how well these things work? How noisy they should/shouldn't be in operation? I fully intend to fit a kickstart in due course but that doesn't excactly help me now! I hope that you guys can assist. Thank you Paul [/QUOTE]
