RE: Help!
sounds like your one-way bearing is shot. pull the starter plate off and replace the bearing. for a temporary fix, you could try soaking it in denatured alcohol until you get a new one.

RE: Help!
the one-way bearing is the nut that slides onto the crankshaft that sticks out of the backplate. the reason it's turning over once, and then you hear a slipping noise is because that bearing is slipping. it may look like nothing is wrong with it, but i guarantee you that's the problem.
