Start problem.

[rogerm]

Hi, im new here, and try to help a friend :-)

The bike is a 73 mod 750 TX, and its turning slow on starter motor. very slow. And sometime there are some noise from the starter clutch ?
I wonder if the starter motor need to be renovated? We have try with jumper cable direct on the starter motor, from a bigger battery. Its the same.
And there are a new kind of starter clutch from Eastern Europe,  and where can he bay this ? Ore will that solve some problem ?

Regards RogerM

Welcome RogerM,

sounds like your starter motor needs an overhaul & starter clutch could probably do with upgrading, there is a thread on this subject, plus I remember seeing (I think on facebook TX site) someone had used one from another bike (can't remember which one, sorry), if I find it I will post,

regards royb

I've just tried to fit suzuki starter sprag and it dos'nt fit .
The one I tried is 2mm thicker than original so need it ground down.
Got a Drag star/Virago 250 sprag ordered to see if that fits
