genesis one way bearing
I have been looking for info, and cannot find what Im looking for. I have a genesis with roto start set up. Im not sure, but from reading this forum, looks like my one way bearing is bad ? Roto start spins almost freely, and catches every seventh or eighth revolution, thus turning motor over very little. At least not enough to start it. It has very little use, started maybe 20 times total. At least I think this would be considered little use. Have other nitro trucks just new to CEN products. Also pulled off bearing housing or roto start housing, and want to know if you can rotate this housing 90 degrees to the right with no problems. And oh yea, where can I find the bearing to purchase.

RE: genesis one way bearing
Hey dogman, thanks for the help, ordered 3 bearings, as extras seem to be a good idea. Hope this is the actual problem of roto start not turning motor over enough to start. Had seen this info on site, but wasnt sure that was the problem. But from your response this seems to be the cure. Thanks a ton for the info!!
