I'm not sure
I am not sure because as I have said, I am too lazy to go back in the issues of the magazine to Matt's original articles mentioning this problem but I think the stater on the bike broke when the owner tried to start it after it hydolocked or broke down.
Matt replaced the stater with one he had on hand unknowing it was a Frankenstarter, part airhead part oil head. The biker only cranked backwards after Matt had done extensive repairs on it due to the original problem. The bike would not start would crank, would not align timing marks after the work done, leaving Matt very perplexed.
This month's issue has in it how he found the problem, what the problem was and an run down as to why thing went the way they did.
This thread like all threads has been a hoot to read, and covered a lot of things pertaining to Matt's problems as well as other things. Only in the MOA forum could this happen we go from a missing timing mark, to backwards flywheels to sinking boats. A very diverse crowd of members we are indeed.
Cheery bye, St.
