Hello All,

I have a 1984 Honda TRX200. My electric starter motor runs but only turns the motor occasionally, and briefly. I took the cover off the left side and inspected the starter gears and they look fine. With the cover off, I turned the motor, and the starter gears all operate up to and including the starter motor. Wondering what the problem could be? Please help.

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like your one-way starter clutch is bad. (one-way bearing)

One Way Clutch bearing

Thanks Helmut. Hope the attachment works. Are you referring to the needle bearing in this picture?

That's the first time I've heard it called a needle bearing, but yeah, that's the one.
