NO, the clutch for the starter is internal. The clutch is on the gear that engages the starter gear.You have to remove left side engine case and remove flywheel to access starter clutch assembly.
How do you figure the starter is okay just by popping the clutch? Popping the clutch uses the driveline to turn the motor over. The starter is not involved at all.
The problem may be with your starter and not with the clutch.
The starter rope does not work maybe because the spring may be weak or the ball- bearings in the starter clutch may be jammed and won't let it turn back. If the ball-bearing arn't jammed it could be that the starter clutch is binding on the casing of the recoil if you hit the end of the shaft it may have spread the shaft so it is binding the recoil clutch .
Check for power at the clutch switch, then check for continuity through the switch with the clutch pedal depressed. If there is power and continuity, then the starter (or even ignition solenoid/starter relay) is the problem.
You need speciality tools and take it to a dealership that can work on it cause you can snap the crank
The most probable cause is the starter, the starter cable may need to be cleaned.If that doen't work then replace the starter.
Loose battery cable? Bad starter? ( checkwires on starter) Bad starter solenoid? Bad Neutral or clutch safety switch?
the starter on a 95 RX7 is on the flywheel which is just in front of the clutch, you will need to remove the bell housing around the clutch assembly to get at it however.
I know about the starter and ignition, but I click the ignition and then it clicks, then when I press and hold the starter it starts then immediatly stalls, I have tried it in neutral, in gear, with clutch, without clutch, with clutch and throttle.
your one way starter clutch is blown out. same problem happened to me and raptors are highly know to break starter clutches. just buy an extreme raptor starter clutch kit.
Starter is defective, or battery is weak.
