Roxylass Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 On the SR2 is there a device for stopping the hand start Spinning or is it up to the individual to come up with their own device don’t wish to drill a hole through one of the support brackets and insert a long bolt Also don’t think bungee are reliable enough Kind Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I may be very wrong here, but I thought raised hand starts system usually had a free wheel (sprag clutch) in them to prevent them spinning when the engine is running. If so, I fear yours may be seizing up, so don't go trying to stop it turning until you are sure it is safe to do so. Maybe @bizzard or @RLWP will give chapter and verse for the SR engines.

MtB Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 The freewheel might just need oiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the OP's comment about drilling a hole and adding a bolt to stop it spinning I think there must be one, and it is just picking up with some friction drag.

zenataomm Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 What happens if you turn it the wrong way, does it turn the engine the wrong way, or is there a ratchet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxylass Posted May 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 When the engine is running i can hold the raised start and stop it spinning without hardly tightening my handgrip let it go and it will start spinning again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Tee Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 attach a mole grip to the shaft, the weight of it could well be enough to stop it spinning (idea implemented by previous owner of 'Alice May'!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve56 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 The raised hand start doesn't need anything to stop it turning. I would suggest that the ratchet wheel bearing is a little tight. This could be down to wear. It could also be down to the old grease hardening and making it stiff. The best thing to do would be to remove the bearing and clean it out. If it appears to be in good condition repack with fresh clean grease. There should be a grease nipple for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is highly likely to work well! Another approach if it still picks up once the freewheel has been properly lubricated, is to try to increase the friction in the bearings of the high level shaft. Dismantle and clean the bearings and remove all lubrication, perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxylass Posted May 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Will that be the at the crankshaft standing at the crankshaft end i can freewheel the raised hand start one way half a turn the other way then it engages got a wee vid hope it shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzard Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Should have a free wheel sprocket on the camshaft end, same as a bicycle free wheel unit. Sounds like it's there but needs lubricating. On dumper trucks and the like a dogged starting handle was used directly on the camshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxylass Posted June 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I have a you tube account but can’t seem to move the video from the iPad using the handle start on the camshaft the bottom sprocket doesn’t turn also the raised hand start and chain stay still whilst turning the handle looking from the camshaft end I can move the raised hand start half a revolution Clockwise then it stops spins freely anti-clockwise fitted a bungee cord to stop the spinning just now would it be to complicated for a novice to remove the bottom sprocket to have a look inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
