    Double check please.

    Hi. Can someone confirm or deny my findings. Starter won't turn. I hooked it up to straight power and it would & wouldn't go - won't go installed. Did a continuity check from pos. post to starter. depending on were it was turned went from .08 to total resistence. sounds like burnt brushes arced armeture or? but not good. Does this sound correct? I checked cont. on the relay across the post's. Hit the start button & it goes to zero. Then checked v. at the end of the cable to the starter grounded to the frame & straight to neg. on the batt. Hit start button and it reads 12 vdc. looks like the relay is ok. ? I conclude the starter needs work or replacement what do you think? Thanks.

    Sounds dead

    Open it up and see- be careful with the long bolts - impact driver and penetrating oil helps

      Your riding season is elapsing, and ebay is your friend in this case. Replace the starter.

      Try Ron Ayers to check for which bikes came with the same starter as yours, or perhaps someone else here might have a better cross reference link.

      Keep the old one if you want to play with it & construct a working spare, but get out there & get your season's worth, while you can.
      and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

        I just took it apart. The pos. brush is way worn and there are signs of arcing. I will try to find brushes and clean things up, but in the mean time any ideas would be appreciated.

          If you are looking for a brush kit, First thing you will ned to know is if you have a 4 brush starter or a two brush starter. And you have it apart so you should know that.

          I have had good results with Stockers.
