1 Starter doesn’t engage Sat Jul 04, 2020 1:10 pm

My K1100 RS engine blew up and I’m today done with putting on a “new” engine.
On the old engine I once or twice had to do a WD40 job on the Sprang Clutch in order to get it to engage.
How ever I took two short rides today. Both with one stop. Both times the sprang clutch just spinned and didn’t engage. Had to put it in gear and pull the bike backwards and make a drop out on the clutch before I could start.
Previous owner of the “new” engine says he has NEVER had this issue and suggest it is my starter and not the sprang clutch
