    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Okay I got allot going on here so bear with me.......

1981 GS1100 engine......apparently the are at least two different gear styles for the starter gear......for lack of a better term a fine tooth and a not fine tooth.....
I have a 1981 engine with a mystery starter and two sets of gears that the starter engages too......
I have a fine tooth starter(for lack of a better term) and the proper gear for the starter (in the stator cover) for the starter.......
however the starter will not turn over the engine and it just seems to be binding or not having the power to turn over the engine...........
Power source is good and starter will spin freely if I remove it from the engine but will not turn the engine over.......and yes the engine turns over properly.....with the plugs in or removed.

I know there are a million variables here but I guess I am trying to figure out if I have the wrong starter.....starter gear......crank......combo........I need some serious help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Did you ever figure out the issue? My 851150e does the same thing. Frustrating!
 
In most cases it's either a bad battery, poor ground or power connection or a bad starter motor.
