Does anyone know if the (pre engage) solenoid can be changed out or is it basically a scrap starter?
My old starter burnt out last year. Replaced with a service exchange unit from Motorworks. Happy days.
A year later, I’m having problems. The starter won’t engage properly as soon as it tries to turn the engine it flips out and the motor just spins. Eventually it will hold in and bike starts normally.
The ring gear and starter pinion are fine. I’ve connected jump leads to power & earth even direct to the motor. No change.
Stripped the solenoid. No nasty smells and resistance to earth is ok. Also oiled the plunger/piston.
Made sure the trigger wire connector is not loose. No change.
It will be ok for a while then back to it’s old ways.
