Starter Motor Engagement

Finished the carb re-build this weekend along with battery re-charge and fit Optimate permanent connections.

On starting the starter motor engaged off the button but then just started spinning as if not meshing properly. Now the SM either just spins without engaging or engages turns the motor a couple of times before just spinning again.

The SM seemed OK before the battery died a couple of weeks ago.

Any ideas before I strip the side casing as to what I should be looking for as the probable cause?
 
that could be the sprague clutch bearing i learnt this from other guys on the site because the starter is always engaged & so works on a clutch type system
 
petbro 1 you are a fast learner!

It is my personal belief (theory) that if the autodecompression is functioning well it will place less stress on the sprag allowing it to function better and longer before replacement is necessary.
 
Cheers guys.
