GSX 250, and got the inevitable click....
How is this happening to me....
Starter solenoid issue:
Battery 12.7v stood so good
Not done this before but have been taking battery on and off to fix my other bike .
pic attached. (tis earthed on chassis via it's body and a wire to loom - for ignition)
After hitting it and checking earth's it will after say 5 mins turn over. I don't think the adjustments had anything to do with it. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Took starter off bike.
Test 1
- provided power and it clicks ok. (it clicks on bike too)
Test 2
- energised solenoid with MM on posts @ 200ohm settings and displayed 10ohms
q) what result am I looking for ?
Test 3
- on bench non energised - Mm at 200 ohms and probes to earth on solenoid body and ignition wire.
result = 4 ohms
q) what result am I looking for ?
tomorrow :
- I'll make sure earth is sound on bike as from body of Solenoid. I can't see how this is an issue but will check.
- will add power direct to starter just to check. assume this works though as it does when solenoid bursts into life.
- I assume I can bridge solenoid posts to start but not tried that yet.
I had 4 pages of notes from past years to test a solenoid all of them impossible to understand so having to start afresh.
new solenoid from m&p - 9£ (and can add it to my growing order from them ...)
what's think and any more tests I can do ?
and what do my results mean ?
