1985 Harley Sportster starter issues, Need some help.


Stampede

Recommended Posts

I'm working on my dad's old Sportster, I disassembled the starter, gave it good cleaning. Now the plunger works, but the starter motor does not. If I jump the starter side it works, I don't think I'm getting power to the starter motor side. What do I need to look at?

 

Thanks.

have you checked the battery? 1985 is still an ironhead and those starters won't turn if they don't have a fully charged battery. I had a similar issue with my '74 and replaced the battery and it cleared right up.
