i've been having trouble with the starter disengaging after a couple of cranks and thought it might be the hold in system, it tested ok with the starter out, no load the way it says to test in hd manual. i was looking at the overrunning clutch to see how that was working and the inside seemed to be real wet and gritty and there was no 'o'ring in the housing. when i held the big gear in my hand and turned the shaft like i would be cranking the motor and then turned the other way to get the clutch to freewheel it would be stuck and take alot of force to get it to freewheel, is this thing broken and how do i get one of these 'o'rings i can't find them in any catalog?

try taking the bendix gear off and turning the big brass washer around, ( on starter solenoid) worked for me. hmmm sounds like a seal ring was missed either at original assembly, or during a repair/replace. subsequent washings have probably allowed water into the housing, which is definately not good.you may have to replace the solenoid, which can be ordered with an o-ring. your local harley dealer can get this for you, although there are many good after-markets parts out there. try j.p. catalogue.
