If it sounds like this then it's probably the sprag. Just grab the manual and start pulling the covers. I also believe you will need a flywheel puller.

You deleted the Facebook post! That video would help others to understand the sound. It would also help to add the year and model machine to your profile.

Check out part #6 at this schematic:

That's the part we're talking about.

Here is the cover you'll have to remove to get at it.
