PRIMARY NOISE WORSE WHEN HOT

Starter wont work when hot, swaped switch, (turned on when cold) started just fine, however pull off to get gas, no starter relay click or attempt to start. there is a vibration that has gotten worse, removed primary cover inspected clutch basket and bearings, no signs of excessive wear or damage. could my bendix be getting stuck on ring gear?

You could be having an issue with 'heat soaking', is your starter near an exhaust pipe? If so, they sell exhaust pipe wrap or you could try swapping for a racing starter.

SOURCE: 06 s83 won't start. Rode for 70 miles, parked in

replace your battery although you have 12 volts your battery is producing very little amps not even enough to energize your start relay let alone your starter motor

SOURCE: starter motor turn but wont engage

It has a starter clutch on the fly wheel. You will need to remove the left side case cove to access it. You will need to pull the flywheel with a puller as the starter clutch is behind the flywheel

I have an 03 FLSTC, same issue. Went through four starters before 70k miles. Problem solved when I had both the gear reduction and compression releases installed. Have 40k miles on my fifth starter and no problems.

SOURCE: 91 yamaha breeze,wont turn over

Check fuses. Check voltage. Could be a burned, or just broken fuse. Could be a dead battery. Could be as simple as poor battery connections. If not, perhaps the following will help:

A starter can be tested in a very simple way, by applying 12vdc to the power input, and grounding the case. If it spins, then it's on to step 2, checking connections.

Starters are much too simple to be more complicated than that, but the electrical system can be. Check the circuit between the relay and the starter. Is is a direct wire with no breaks? If so, check the voltage at the power output and input of the relay. If it is good, check the power input and grounding of the starter.

Most new bikes have a clutch switch, and it may interrupt the 12vdc to the starter, without affecting the relay. Same thing goes for the nuetral switch.

Try starting in nuetral, with the clutch pulled. Check the relay for conections that you may have taken off, and not replaced. Same thing for the starter.

You might consider contacting Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA - customer relations (800) 962-7926, press "1" for Star Specialist. See if they would consider either exchanging the bike, or sending a factory specialist out to examine your ride.

Replaced fuel pump and filter and car still wont start. Have new battery, starter, water pump...

I saw what you replaced, didn't see any testing? Make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good, that is positive and ground, both are important. Check fusible links where applicable? Do any electricals work, dash lites--headlamps--anything?
If needed check fuses in fuse box for voltage use a test lite. Some fuses are hot all the time, some go hot with the key on. Just pick any component that isn't working and is fuse protected, check voltage at the fuse.
The starter motor usually has two voltage circuits, one comes from the battery, hot all the time. The other circuit should go hot with key in the crank position and is wired through neutral or clutch switch, depending on the tranny. It is possible to be wired through starter relay, depending on the vehicle. Any starter testing, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set.
I need year--make--model.

1997 dodge ram wont start hot, starts fine in the cold but in hot weather needs the throttle pumped and sometimes even that wont do it

What is the condition of the starter ? Is this an engine hard to turn over problem when hot ? If so, the starter might be grounding out, this happens only when the casing is hot.

2001 ford 250 s/dv-10turns over fine. wont start sometimes.when it starts it runs fine.seems like cold weather makes it worse.if it starts it wont die.started about a month ago and getting worse.

Make sure the battery doesn't have a dead cell or is over two years old first. Then depending on usage I would definately think about getting a new starter. I would suspect your battery first, due to the cold weather corrolation.

95 grand prix wont start after engine warms up

Sounds like a hot soak issue with the starter.I bet the starter needs replacing. The only other cause I can think of is maybe the starter lost a heat shield. I am not sure, however, if it actualy has one as OEM or not.

Replaced starter gear then torqued to 5 lbs,fired up,fine? replaced primary and now wont start?

Well, first off....Dont try starting it anymore without the primary, it can damage the gears. The problem you describe is common with custom builds. I'll assume you purchased the correct stock jackshaft for your model and installed the lock plate and everything else correctly. You can tighten the jackshaft bolt to 7-9lbs. Your last step is putting a wrench on the assembly and pulling it out and turning 1/4 turns to make sure its not binding, as a last resort you can bevel the jackshaft bushing on the out primary so it goes in smoothly - thats what I did on mine and it works like a charm. Good luck
