So I ordered a new 20 sprag starter clutch for my gy6, I thought I found a good deal, it was from unique scooter parts and it said new. Well I got it today and when I looked at it it definitely looks all wrong for a supposedly new part. From the outside it doesnt look bad, but inside there is what looks like 20 year old packing grease mixed with dirt all over it. The indents where the bolts are are so covered in this dirt like paste that I can't even see em, they look almost orange too like they're corroded...I guess I'm probably gona ask for a refund. I definitely shouldn't just go ahead and use it right? I'm thinking it just sat on the shelf too long and the packing grease went bad, but idk why it would be that dirty. Anyone else seen packing grease turn into the sort of sludge you see on the bottom of your engine? Or are they just trying to fleece me and send me an old part?

Wow and this is the kind of response I got.... "Items are brand new. As how the Chinese package it I have no idea. Maybe they did it outside or an employee did not wash their hands. And the items were manufactured at the start of 2016. Chinese are not gonna use top of the line oil They will use the cheapest thing possible which is why most will tell you when you buy a brand new scooter immediately change the engine oil and transmission oil If your not happy then you may return it. Use the return button in your purchase history."
Hardly any accountability. I rarely have problems with eBay sellers, but sometimes like this happens. It definitely looks new for the most part, but I duno why the bolts are covered in freaking dirt. I'm just gona open it and see if the rollers inside are fine and everything. It was only 20 bucks for a 20 sprag which is cheap, but now I see why.

I also got a starter puller and the special tool for the starter clutch nut, which was like 18 bucks for the pair and it came in perfect shape for what it's worth. Also got a gasket which is fine, but I'd be careful ordering from them
