    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    Be useful to know if loctite 326 can be used without an activator ? (I don't have the activator). Be useful to know others experience. I intend to apply without and wait for as many days it takes to fully cure. I don't think it has lesser properties using without the activator.

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    I am gonna continue this thread as so interesting. The question is at the end. GSX no start issue which came on suddenly and now strains to turn the starter motor 99% of the time -just clicks but may work 1% of the time. Solenoid seemed fine , bought another and same result. Anyway had to be...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    All of what you say is in the post at the start. Anyway I am done with the solenoid as seems to be fixed. I am still concerned at the one test failure as I said at the start using resistance. for info the only ohms resistance tests I did were at the start of the post. These advised on every...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    ok ok guys - if you read there is nothing wrong with the stator after dojng some tidying of wires etc it seems the analysis I posted backs this up. it seems to be ok after I - charged battery overnight - cleaned ground connections which are not ideal with the plate the solenoid sits on -...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    clearly you (rich) are not a mender of things . I like to mend rather than throw away. understand why something doesn't work. but anyway I simply want to know why my bike would not start and the solenoid just clicked. the reason if you read seems to not be the solenoid but connections. to...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    ok I'll have to think on those explanations. ​​​​​​what you are suggesting is my solenoid is working perfectly ? (it seems to be madly) and of course the tests had different results as it worked . only when it doesnt fire up can you test the voltage drop and expect results as you showed ? I'll...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    AND an additional question - what about on my previous resistance tests where the powered on showed 10ohms of resistance when I can see via the interweb it should be 0.2ohms ISH ? test - energised solenoid with MM on posts @ 200ohm settings and displayed 10ohms​ ? I am not trying to be the '...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    OK I have done some tests on the solenoid. (Assume the starter will always run when poweed directly and when posts bridged starter works ! Also this morning I cleaned base of solenoid and made sure plate earthed ok. Tests done after I did this. What do these results mean ? when it seems to...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    you are so right about the plate and earth ... been there .. ​​​​I will clean up and check earth but I have been caught out before with what you say and earthed the plate. worth re.checking though - agree as I have disturbed things. seems logical as I have to disturb things to get battery out...
