It was spinning fine, then it seemed like either the battery or starter was 
failing.  It spinned (spun?) slowly a coupla times then clunk and no spinnies. 
Charged up the battery but would still just clunk. Changed the starter and 
still just clunk. Tried to spin by hand forward and nothing though it will go 
backwards a bit. Should’ve tried that before going to the trouble of changing 
starter. 

This suggests chain is broken or bound up inside but could be something else I 
suppose. Guides broken?
