From your first post:
"On my first ride the starter failed twice. But not as it did on the old engine. Now the bike would actually start if I hit the starter a second time.
My conclusion was: “Ok it must be my starter since it was the starter from the old engine”. I got a used starter. Disassembled it and cleaned it and installed it. But I still get starter problems."
Two starters on this engine and you say the sprag still slips. I respectfully have to say that it doesn't sound like the starter to me.
