The kick starter has quit catching to turn the motor over,I know it is probably a one way bearing. Is it the one on the flywheel or isnt the other one in the clutch.Thanx for any help.

It's definitely the one-way clutch bearing on the clutch side. It's the sprag bearing on the inside of the centrifugal clutch. I've had and seen this problem many, many times. If the one-way bearing goes out on the flywheel side, the starter won't turn the engine over.
