Starter not disengaging

<< < (2/2)

exvalvesetdabbler:
By replacing the starter motor with a bulb as described above,the bulb should  light up when you press to the button and go out when you release the button. If it's on all the time then something is stuck.

If the bulb stays lit sometimes on button release
1) sticky button, broken button return spring
2) solenoid sticking.

If 2) then hitting the solenoid with a screwdriver handle might jolt it loose

Worth noting that. If the solenoid sticks the bulb/starter motor will still be getting power even with the ignition off.

Regards
Dave

TrickyMicky:
The handlebar button cannot work without the ignition switched on, and the original post said the starter motor was operating even when the ignition was turned off.

Seabeowner:
Then from Dave's options that says that it is likely not option 1) but likely option 2).

Thanks gents. Perfectly clear, good job I have spare solenoid.
