I think you will need to pull the flywheel and check out the sprag clutch behind there as bergerhag suggested, The gear behind the flywheel which is just visible in your picture should turn one way and bind onto the crank when turned the other. If you do a search on here you should be able to find out some more information on it. As another poster has suggested your broken shaft may have been effect rather than cause.

Yup the guy I was speaking to suggested the same thing about the broken shaft. Looking at the terrible history of these sprag clutches it would all makes sense (done plenty of reading on them). Not sure its something I want to live with when I get it sorted I will regrettably probably sell
