i always shoy mine with a little carb cleaner through a little hole in the back of the ez starter hope this helps:D
Remove the 3 screws that hold the EZ start motor in place, pull out the 1-way bearing on the shaft. I use rubbing alcohol and soak a paper tower, wad it up, place inside the 1-way and spin the 1-way until no more dark gunk is on the towel. Take a piece of household Scotch Brite and scuff the shaft to give the 1-way more grip. This works really well for me. If the 1 way still slips you may need a new one.
This tip was taken from maxx skunkworks but it is the best i know of, drill a hole in the back of the ez start right in the middle of where the bearing would sit, install a pressure fitting so you can hook a piece of fuel tubing to it. Next strap the fuel tubing up tot he shock tower of your truck and when the bearing slips shoot some motor cleaner, carb cleaner or whatever into the hole, wait a minute or two for it to dry and start away.
