What a day, Loose my keys Get new ignition barell now it wont start the storter is just spinning not engaging is there any cure other than a new starter. never been any probs before, Ive sold the bike & goes next weekend, dont want to sell it with any problems......

If the starter is turning but the engine is not, it sounds like the sprag clutch is at fault.....

.................or the flywheel has come off

where abouts are you? It ain't that busy at the moment, if you want it sorting before next weekend.
Let me know if I can help.

West Coast of Scotland i'm afraid.

just tried it again & it fired up first time but then went back to just spinning.

Take a look through the timing window in the lhs engine casing. You'll see the edge of the flywheel.
Thumb the starter. If the flywheel looks like it's wobbling or moving towards the wheel, then it's come loose or come off.
If the sprag clutch has gone, it probably won't be moving.
Either way it'll need the casing pulling off........

Thank's for the advice i'll have a look in the morning,
