Will check the lead on the starter but it sounds like the starter is on the way out, but Hey Ho if you buy a project, you might as well have some work to do.
Thanks for your comments guys  |
oddly talking to a guy at the eddie kid do last week with the same problem on a sportster. after a lot of discussion with a number of 'wiser' heads it was suggested that the primary or secondary windings had gone/were going so not enough torque left to turn it over under compression. you can check the starter windings with a multimeter (discussed elsewhere on this site - use the search) and if it is the com. can be replaced rather than buying a complete starter - just a thought.
have you tried someonelses in you bike to identify if its the starter??
