Today I was determined to remove the starter wheel on the 750. In the end I had to cut the chain off in order to make enough space for my puller. Even with the chain removed the gear wheel was very difficult to remove but eventually it yielded.
The inner section of the starter clutch was then free to be removed from the crankshaft.
As expected the rubber oil seal was brittle and broken so I have ordered another one, along with a new starter motor chain. That job should be finished in around a week's time when the parts arrive.
With the starter clutch cleaned and the new springs fitted the whole assembly now works as it should.

I then turned my attention to the Atlas. My painter had told me the new tank decals had turned up so I removed the tank and took it to him. While I waited the old decals were removed, the paintwork polished and the new decals fitted.
They really make the bike look a lot better. While the tank was removed I fitted new spark plugs and caps, and I cleaned the air filter at the same time. The bike is now up for sale so please look in my For Sale section for details.
