I know I need to install compression releases, but I just trashed my 3rd starter clutch. It's the first one after my warranty expired a week ago. They replaced the starter under warranty 5 weeks ago, but I'm on my own now. BTW, I always bump the starter over before trying to start it, but sometimes it still kicks back...
Any suggestions as to which one will survive until I pull the heads?

Well I had no luck finding any auto parts store that had the clutch. That's when I remembered the starter shop that has been around here forever. I called about the clutch and he said bring it in. He said there are some various clutches, so he wanted to see it.
At lunch, I pulled the starter apart and found the idler gear had a tooth missing. So, I left work early and went out there. I showed him the clutch and the broken idler gear. He told me the clutch was fine and sold me the idler gear for $4.00!
Then I found out he rides a bone stock Ultra Classic. He told me he didn't want to deal with any of the problems I was having, he just enjoyed riding..
So, I spent the $4.00 there and another $46.00 at the Harley dealership. I think I made out pretty d@mn well. BTW, I also found out the Harley shop can machine the head for $150.00 and get them done within a day or two...
