Cheers Alan! Offer goes both ways, if I happen to have a tool or consumable.
I've got the engine buttoned back up now, and since replacing the starter, solenoid, and wiring it now starts incredibly easily. I thought I'd do the sprag spring as a "while I'm in there" task, but didn't have the magneto holder & torque wrench (although I'm running out of things I can fix without the wrench!) - plus there was a little nagging thought of "don't go too far down the rabbit hole" so I decided to stick with just doing what I went in there for - replacing the starter.
With any luck the next time that'll come apart is because I'm stripping the engine down for an inspection/rebuild/paint. At which point I'd probably look to replace the one-way bearing as well as the driven gear (and nut/washers etc).
Once this lockdown is properly lifted I'd be keen for a ride with other monster owners nearby! I'm in Crookston so not far away.
