Default RE: Engine starts backwards

I think this has happened to me twice in the last week too! My one way is slipping badly, and as I was goosing up the roto on 2 occasions the engine started, and no matter how much I revved it wouldnt go or spin the wheels. Then when I started again it would run fine. Also to clarify, I tried to clean my one way with paper towel, but its still slipping. Should I use alcohol on it? Or maybe whats a good household item to degrease it, wash it in soap? Thanks.

Ah in addition, when the engine started like that, I noticed that the roto adaptor (the round thing that you put your wand in) was spinning at a slow rate at idle..
