Re: [St] 2000 sprint ST wont start.

[Neil Lindsey <Neil.Lindsey@xxxxxxx>]

I didn't look at a Sprint maual and I did suggest that there was the
possibility that I was out to lunch too :-)

if I remember correctly, on the old Maxim the sprag clutch is right in the
middle of the crankshaft (between cylinders 2 & 3), which I why the motor
must be pulled

glad to hear that is not the case for the Sprint
