    Bury that critter asap- go ebay (or boneyard) hunting for decent replacement. I bet the 850 starter would work-someone will know for sure.

      Hi,

      A few options:

      http://www.stockers-ems.com/


      Year Make Model Part Results from Rick's Motorsport Electrics
      http://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/part/61-305/ODJTdXpHUzY1MEc=
      Aftermarket Motorsport Electrics parts for motorcycles, dirtbikes, atvs, motosport vehicles manufactured and distributed by Rick's Motorsport Electrics


      Places like J.C. Whitney and Motorcycle Superstore also sell aftermarket/rebuilt starters.

      Or buy a used one from eBay and clean it up, replace the brushes, etc.

      Thank you for your indulgence,

      BassCliff

        List here:

        Place your GS electrical or ignition related questions in this forum.



        It looks like any shaftie starter will fit, plus several other 1980-84 models.

        Time to trawl fleaBay or your friendly local boneyard.

              Looks like a bad solenoid or starter clutch took that starter for a ride!
