RX3 Starter Starter Clutch Assembly

The starter clutch assembly of the Zongshen RX3 is designed with the following components.

Starter Clutch
Starter Clutch Housing
Starter Motor Gear

The starter clutch itself is shown below. The RX3 starter clutch has a different design that the generic sprag clutch shown earlier, but it operates in exactly the same manner. The RX3 starter clutch has an inner race, and and outer race, which are separated by steel rollers. The rollers are held in place with an spring on the inner race which presses the rollers against slanted ramps on the outer race.





The starter clutch is housed inside the starter clutch housing. This housing is placed inside the starter motor gear, and both parts are placed over the counter shaft.
