I have just replaced the starter clutch on my max (fortunately the flywheel removal on mine was not a hernia maker ) 5 tonne puller and some sweat and time was all it took.
The job went relatively easy once I got the parts .....(took a couple of weeks to get a new starter clutch assembly) - the existing one had cracked.
Ran strong before the procedure - although was a pig to start.
During the time I was waiting for spares, my max was resting on an angle of about 45 degree on some tires, foam etc to stop the oil completely leaking out....flywheel removed.
On reassembly I have a sweet strong starter engaging with none of the previous sounds....much to my relief.
However the beast will not start :confused2:
Summary -
- Battery is a new 2-3 months (odyssey) - which was charged fully of the bike before putting in.
- I have a healthy spark
- clean fresh gas
- fuel is getting to carbs - fuel pump runs
- cleaned kill switch in case it was that.
All I get is the odd backfire, but no life ? ?
Final note:
I put some supertrapp slip on a two months ago just before the bike was garaged......sounds sweet Oh, and a Steibel airhorn - that make it sounds like a semi truck...... Other than that the bike is pretty much stock....and was running fine.
