Took wifes XP for a couple hundred yard dash and noticed some noise coming from the clutch side. Pulled the panel and watched as I burped the throttle, notice sparks from front of clutch. Closer look the starter pinion gear and the overrunning clutch/driver is coming out like when it would be engaging when hitting the button. It don't appear to be spinning as it comes out and isn't meshing with the ring gear, just like its vibrating out. When I start it the pinion gear pulls back in fully so not sure whats up? Thought I would see if anyone has had this happen before I get to many wrenches out. The pinion gear is getting pretty worn as she has not heard any noise lol
