'82 RS Airhead starter
It's a Bosch, the part I'm curious about is the lump right next to the pinion itself that looks like a ball race, it has part no. 1 006 209 401 on it. I've Googled this number and found it shown as Freewheel Gear, starter which makes me think that it might possibly have a clutch inside. Mine is locked solid, it doesn't turn either way relative to the pinion. Should it? It's always worked fine on the bike as far as I know, although it has been off the road for a couple of years by now.
