what is This?!

so the beast has power! but when i try and start it, it just clicks...and gets Hot? what is this little rig and do i have it wired up right? i tryed it wired both ways, the way its in the pic and the opposite im gon to check a wiring schmatic and see if its wired up right. but im knida stumped could this part be bungged up?
Thanks!

Well I pulled the starter out! cleaned it up a bit and tested it and it worked! when its put in the bike! it kinda turns a bit but not quite a full turn over? Am i Suppose to hold the clutch? also how would i check and to see if the motor is seized! the bike sat for awhile! not really sure how long. What way is the crankshaft suppose to turn? clockwise?

I just thought of this! if the bike is in gear and it's tried to start what will happen?

thanks!

To turn over the engine, remove the ignition cover (the small one on the right) put a wrench on the biggest part and turn clockwise

The bike shouldn't try to start in gear due to the safety switch. If the safety switch has been disconnected, the starter would try to turn the rear wheel and it would move

Make sure the bike is in neutral, then try to rotate the crank to see if the engine is frozen. Rotate clockwise only

ya I'm not sure if it was in Gear i totall? for got to check! lol Thet starter turns then stops? Whats the cover on the left (if your sitting on the bike) I took that one off to see if the starter is moving at all! it is but only a bit the stops. There was a big bolt on that rig and i turned it clockwise and it moved a bit and i herd the air hissing out (spark plug isn't Tight) but then it stops dead? so i dont really wanna just ream on her for fear of breaking something! lol anyways like i said im kinda new to the whole bike thing. I thought that that could have been the crankshaft? but ya Thanks Big T

HydroLocked?

If gas is leaking through the petcock (or it's set to prime ) the needle valve will let a little fuel by. Let it sit long enough like that and fuel will flood the cylinders. Pull ALL the plugs before you try to rotate the engine again. It only takes one flooded cylinder to lock it up.

[Spanish_ryder]

ohh that will help it out? I dont even have a gas tank on it yet lol but if I just let some gas through it is should be good? the bike may be in gear lol i pulled the gear shift and dont member what position i left it in. would the engine turn over all the way in gear?

[Spanish_ryder]

So I got Home today And went out to my shed, I got a new fuse box because the other one was acting up i put it on( 20 used) , anyways then I tried to fire her up holding the clutch and nothing and the bike was in neutral. I rotated the crank clockwise as far as it would go and the hit the starter button and she turned over! But then stopped!

Has anyone seen this before? valves possibly? or a stuck piston?
Let me know Thanks!

Engine Question

Hey Guys! so I pulled the valve cover to check and see if the valves are stuck. for some reason the engine can't turn all the way over? it turns about 3/4s of the way. im kinda stumped any help would be awesome!
heres some pics to see if they help!

[Spanish_ryder]

heres the pic theres a small space there? is that right?

That is your lash adjustment clearance.
Did you already pull the plugs to see if it was hydro-locked?

Daniel

[Spanish_ryder]

i pulled the plugs and the pistons seam to be moving.
how do you check if it's hydro-locked?

You have had several suggestion on what needs to be checked and/or done.

We have not seen any response to any of them.

Have you tried any of them?

You keep trying other things rather that what is suggested.

This is where some of us start reading other threads.

I've tried everything suggested and still no luck. and nothing has worked.

[Spanish_ryder]

so like i said ive tried everythig suggested and still no luck. If an engine was hydro-locked do you pretty much have to tear the motor apart?

How would I check if the valves are stuck? I used the rubber end a set of pliers to push on the springs and they all went down ok, is there a better way to check it?
Thanks

is there water in the oil?
look in the plug holes see what the pistons look like
no valves are stuck open?
look through the exhaust holes and see what the valves look like, the pipes have to be off for this


do a lil work make sure there is nothing in the piston area!, just incase someon put a bolt or anything in 1 of them, to **** someone off, yea there are some pieces of $hit out there in this big ole world
