CB360 1975 Starter Motor Issue

<< < (3/4) > >>

Madagas2002:
I used a refurb kit on the starter and I always thought it sounded slow, but no nasty noises.
I probably need to take the starter motor off (or hook a battery directly to it) and see if that's the problem.

Would a jump starter pack work instead of a battery?

Agree

Sesman:
Just a thought, but are you sure the battery is delivering amps? Although the off load voltage may indicate a healthy battery, it isn’t necessarily correct. A duff battery will create the symptoms you have described. Using a known healthy battery would be helpful in the first instance before moving on to the sole load and starter/sprag assembly. Just a suggestion.

Sesman:
Just read through the posts and Teds already suggested this. I’m not sure if the kickstarter binding is of importance or not.

SteveW:
Might be worth removing starter and opening it up, this is what my 650 looked like.
It was making a terrible noise when trying to start the bike, once cleaned up it was fine.
