Not the stator. Not sure exactly how these work as mine hasn't stopped working yet, but I know a bad stator won't cause it. Decompression solenoid maybe No spark makes sense if it's not actually turning the flywheel because the pickup coil isn't sensing a spinning crank (anyone correct me if I'm wrong here).

You sir, are a master of articulating yourself on paper! I could HEAR the engine making those noises! Apparently Jason needs to get his cat neutered, or euthinized!

I think someone else just fixed the starter spin problem on here, and it happened again. Could the starter be spinning, but the gear not engaging the flywheel? Like I said earlier, not sure how the starters work, but I had this happen to an outboard motor once. The starter gear wasn't popping up and engaging the flywheel. Anyone know if these are the same or different?

I thought these were a sprag clutch. I could be wrong. Happened before. I got over it. If the sprag clutch cage breaks, it can keep the friction ramp from loading and gripping the shaft to engage. Just a thought. Not saying that's it or anything. It's not sitting in front of me, so it's all speculation.
