Yep, reading on here suggests hard to start. I'll be happy if I can get it to a stage where it starts with a jump off a car for the first start of the day. TBH I'll be happy just to have a bit of tinkering time even if I end up breaking it for parts.
Anyway, step 1 is to be able to turn it over on the starter. So, pondering this at work today I came up with a plan. I nipped out to the garage this evening and took the cover off then marked the gears with sharpie. Cover back on and hit the button. Cover off and all gears including the freewheel behind the flywheel have turned. So I'm thinking the problem is that freewheel so I'll order a puller for the flywheel and get in there and have a look.
And yes, welded. Messy! I'm guessing these back torque limiting gears are not available anywhere?
Cheers
