    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.

OK guys,
Now when I start my 1100 it sounds like the starter is missing (clickity clickity) I stop try again and no problem. Bad starter? Can it be adjusted? I looked on line they run $300 plus. Not happy. :x
 
Does it try to turn the engine over at all? I had something like that once and it was my petcock leaking, it would put gas in the cylinder and it wouldn't crank, just click, then when the preassure relieved enough for the starter to overcome it, it would work fine. This is not a good situation, you need to make sure you don't have gas in your oil, and need to be careful or you'll break something.

If the starter doesn't do anything, your relay may be at fault. You can jump the terminals on the relay to check that.
 
These starters use bruses so it could be your bruses getting worn out. You can take it to a starter rebuild place and have them rebuild it a lot cheaper then $300. Or if you feel adventurous you can replace the brushes your self. The brush plates or just bruses ( I would recomend the whole plate) can be purchased herehttp://www.cyclewareables.com/ for about $35 just make sure you clean up the comuter on the armature with some fine emory cloth when you do it.
 
Dennis Kirk has a set of brushes for that motor for $18.99. I'm so cheap that I replace mine with $1 brushes that I have to modify and rig up. They don't last long either, but what do I care since it only takes me 20 minutes to remove the starter, rebrush it, and reinstall it.
