Loncin LX200 engine wont crank

[Bludworth_06]

Trying to sort out a weird issue with my Loncin LX200. Starter spins, sprocket moves but the crank wont turn. Flywheel works clockwise but doesnt engage the starter when turned the other way. Could use some pointers before I break out the tools.

You might need to pull the flywheel to get a good look at that clutch and see if any rollers or springs inside are broken or out of place.

I had the same headache with my LX200, the starter spun like it was partying, sprocket danced, but crank just sat there like, "Nah, not today." I found out the starter clutch was tired and slipping so I swapped it out, and suddenly the bike stopped ghosting me

That starter clutch may be the rotten apple here. I appreciate you sharing your insights and experiences with pulling the flywheel and checking for wear. Time to roll up my sleeves and get to the bottom of this.

Just a quick heads up, having the correct flywheel puller on hand will make a night and day difference in getting it off without any drama. You've got this. Let us know what you find in there.
