2talltim Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 just pointing out the obvious incase...but did he get a full charge on the battery, new batteries dont come charged unless you get them from a hi end retailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 1st step check all conections essecially the ground and all wires going to and from the starter relay, then check for voltage drop on the battery to see if the starter is even trying to engage.

Gixxus Christ! Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Or just bridge the poles on the starter relay, if the starter turns, its your relay. If it doesn't its your starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machspd11 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I bridged em and it clicked that's it. Even without the starter I should be able to pop the clutch but can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Id say if the motor won't turn over on a clutch pop something is ceased up, that small of a engine should turn over easy. If so, time for a new motor or a new big when you are talking somthing that old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machspd11 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 You can hear the compression of the motor turning over just wont fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 You'll be hard pressed to bump start a cold' date=' carburetor-fed engine.[/quote']Not fun or easy but I've done it....anyway, if you jump the solenoid and the starter just clicks I would pull the starter, see if it turns when not bolted into the motor. That should tell you whether its the starter or if its an issue with the gearing and stuff that let's the starter turn the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm sorry the way I read that I thought it would not turn over with clutch bumping. Yea if you are getting voltage to the starter I would suspect the starter too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machspd11 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ok ill let him no see what he wants to do. I really think he wants to send it somewhere to get it worked on. Idk I appreciate it all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
