      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Watching that video, Looks like they're being rebuilt with mostly original parts cleaned up, plus all new insulating material around the copper.
        I suspect your weak starter motors have shorts because of fried off insulation, just as what happens to stators.

          Know anyone with a growler?
          I've had car starters that spin fine no load like your doing that had internal shorting.

            THen, I would say either deficent starter, intgernal problems... or... maybe bad connection, like negitive battery cable on back of engine is an often overlooked problem that effects the starter and not much else.

              Back in post 5, "it cranked fine with starter out of my bike". Seems pretty obvious the problem is inside the starters that aren't working (cranking under load) properly. Wouldn't think cable connections would be the issue if his known good starter worked properly.

                wires arent the issue. like i said the starter out of my red cooley project bike rolls it over proprly. i got two junk starters obviously.
                theyll be seeing the dumpster soon.
