Starter motor problem
Posted: 04 Sep 2022 14:24
On the way up from Sunny Exeter to the rally in Hulme End I made a single stop at Ashbourne for motion lotion and my starter motor made a barely effective clacking sound.It just started so I pressed on to the campsite where it was no better . It then failed completely. The Coguaro would not kick from cold but would do after running fir perhaps a minute . A bump start and uninterrupted ride home. Thank goodness for a 22L tank.
Upon removing the starter gear cover I found the one way bearing was no longer one way.The tension spring which retains the rollers had snapped. I have a spare which clearly works.
The Vulkollan “ cheeses” in the “flexible coupling rubbery” look as good as when fitted in March 19th.
The old oil is pretty dark so high time to change it.
