    starter

    gs1000g

    starter clutch / stator everything back together

    now it wont start.....ahhhhhhhhhhhh

    hit the starter and the motor turns over one turn at a time
    checked voltage and conected spare battery
    pulled starter motor out and when connected to power and earthed spins freely
    I thought maybe a bad earth so I made up a 30amp cable and fitted it to the back of the starter motor and straight to the earth terminal and the motor spins appears strong.
    refitted the starter motor
    first hit as a test everything spins well
    go to start it and back to on turn every time I hit the starter motor.

    I must be me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..time to drink

    I'd pull the generator cover off and check on the assembly of the starter clutch and the gearing between the starter gear and starter clutch. Make sure you have left no thrust washers out on reassembly. With the cover off you should be able to turn the large gear between the rotor and the engine bearing in one direction with no resistance and it should not turn in the other direction. Get back to us if you have no luck.

        Pulled it all apart looked at it put it back togeather and it started.

        I noticed there were no thrust washers, I will order a couple tomorrow.

        Takes a bit to start but once its been started for the day she fires up with the lightest touch of the starter.

        Is there a starting trick with these like full choke / 1/2 choke / no choke?

        Felt good to go for a ride again and I am going again later this arvo

        Not charging so that the next job on the agenda.

          Craig. Starting procedure. Full choke, no throttle, let it idle on full choke until the revs rise, back off the choke a bit to reduce revs and so on. When choke is off its OK to use throttle.

            Sounds like something (one of the shafts) was binding when you tightened up the generator cover.

            Check thrust washers nos. 3 & 10 on diagram.

              RE Start: Thanks....I will try the full choke start tomorrow.

              Re: Starter motor.
              Thrust washes: Nos 10 looks ok but there are no number 3,s
              I will have to oder a couple.

              Since I blocked all the gaps in the air box up it runs beautifully no hesitation no flat spots it just wants to go.

                  Don: This morning (a cold winters morning on the Gold Coast) I tried the full choke start and she burst into life at the first touch...woo hoo first time its ever started like that since I had her.
                  The choke cable was a bit crappy and wasnt pulling the choke completely on so I grabed the choke rail with my fingers and pulled it all the way across.
                  I was telling a mate and he told me he bought a brand new honda 750 4 in the early seventies. He came out of the pub and it wouldnt start.
                  Being in Sydney he didnt want to leave it there so he sat there all night in the dead of winter until the next morning when someone from the bike shop came out and pulled the choke on and it started first touch.

                    Craig, c'mon a COLD WINTER'S MORING ON THE GOLD COAST. No such thing. Beautiful one day, gorgeous the next, or something like that.
                    Cheers. Don
