Doing my bit for international upgrade of Laverda starting systems, I ordered new sprag clutch springs. A while after I unwrapped the welcome parcel from afar, I noticed I only have 5 new springs. Bugger. Either 1 dropped on the floor, or only 5 arrived (one escaped in transit). Rather than do a big order for 1 from overseas, what 'local' part can I use? Bic pen spring? I recall Yamaha ones are good. Anyone know the part no?

Cheers, Andre
 
Hi Andre, just check that 2 springs haven't wound themselves together. I just did the springs on a 81jota motor and I had the same problem with a missing spring that the owner supplied. I have spares so wasn't a problem but when I came to actually fit the springs I noticed 2 together.
I can send you one if you like, no problem. Wouldn't use bic springs :o :o
Also the NSW Lav club have them in stock, or use to!! Let me know And I'll drop one in the mail.
 
have 100's of them
we get them from Kawasaki sprag clutches when we buy the alternators for the ignition conversions
if no wound together like Rob said, let us know
can post easy enough

 
the engine rebuild that is currently underway in my workshop for John Philipp also needs a sprag clutch rebuild, he had previously bought the kit from a UK dealer, which was springs and rollers (why no plungers? they are the bits that get stuck, and invariable destroyed in the removal) and guess what there is a spring missing !!
