I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm happy with the slutty chrome starters that are sold on eBay. (although they are now calling standard starters high-output there..)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #988547 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Help with starter motor 1 Year, 4 Months ago   wow i got in there, brush dust everywhere, at least one brush was retracted and not touching,(that splains why my voltmeter voltage did not go down when i pushed starter button) all 11 mm long, cleaned it up good, 800 emery with armature in the 18v drill on slow speed, cleeaned up black off commutator, cleaned out the grooves, did not disassemble brush plate. fired right up with no I, I , I dont wanna crack, I dont wanna crack I dont wanna crack ku ku ku ku ku ku end good to go. used CRC electronic cleaner sparingly clymers describes a lockwasher???? behind front cover, not present (2004), in mine. the armature does move end to en a few mm, is that normal? tks   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/10/02 14:44 By brianmac.   [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #988561 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:Help with starter motor 1 Year, 4 Months ago   End play is normal for a starter armature. Every exploded view of a Road Star starter I've seen from Yamaha's books show no lock washer used in the innards.   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/10/02 18:56 By BikerRon.   ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022294 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Help with starter motor 5 Months, 1 Week ago   ships, almost a year , same problem,hot lead to starter, nothin. gonna pull starter, will adding my curts big wires prevent this? i have em in my parts bin, aint put em to use yet.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022298 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Help with starter motor 5 Months, 1 Week ago   agasin, took it apart, clean commutator, blow off dust, back together, fine now, possibly related to driving in rain and in hi humid climate, but will put on 4 gu cabling if it cools off roun these potts, maybe halloween?   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022320 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Help with starter motor 5 Months, 1 Week ago   HELP again, was perfect for one day, now click, not starter motor, already changed out battery yesterday. . do i need a VOM on armature?   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022323 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:Help with starter motor 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Try jumping the starter relay?   Logged     ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022397 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Help with starter motor 5 Months, 1 Week ago   i jumped 12v direct to starter, and nothing. this takes out the relay and all other stuff.
