M38 Starter Overrun Clutch

[Misdemeanor]

I have a 24v stub nose starter for my M38. The starter works great but the overrun clutch is slipping. This part seems difficult to find and I don't want to replace the entire starter when only the clutch is bad. Below is a picture and the PN with descriptions. If anyone knows a supplier that has starter parts I would appreciate it.

Thanks, I sent a message to them. It's not on their web site but that doesn't mean they don't have it.

I took the old one and put it in hot oil for about and hour. Just under boiling temp. Amazingly the thing is working but I think I still want to replace it. They must get gummy inside from years of sitting and the sprags stop moving. Maybe this is a good fix. Time will tell.
