CB360 1975 Starter Motor Issue

(1/4) > >>

Madagas2002:
Hi All,

The starter motor on my bike is refusing to turn over.
The solenoid is clicking but nothing at the motor.
All the other electrics are working. I've also checked the earths.
The battery is fully charged.
A curious thing is the kick start turns, but is sticking, which it has never done before.
Could these issues be related?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
John

Personally I would remove the starter motor and test it using a slave battery - I have an old car battery that I use.

Johnny4428:
As a quick test I would be tempted to try manual switching method.

Bryanj:
Solenoids fail more often than starters, take a big old screwdriver and use it to bridge the two big contacts on the solenoid, big spark and starter turns you need new solenoid, no spark and no turn strip the starter as brushes could be worn out

AshimotoK0:
I would also look at the sprag clutch on the alternator rotor.
