Here's an update. 2 of the springs were broken and 1 was deformed a little. I rebuilt the starter clutch with new pins, springs, and rollers. I put her all back together and... the problem is still happening! Although much less frequently. And now she wont fire up either. I tried starting it until the battery wore down. Carbs had fuel in the bowls but plugs were dry. I'm cleaning the carb again today and see what happens.
