Spoke with Moe at Cycle Garden about this problem. He says it can be a
few things, but #1 on his list was advanced timing, #2 was bad
bushings/starter, #3 was to check if the bike can be jump started when
this problem occurs, I gather this would point to a bad battery.
Somehow, I think my starter may be the problem, though I did have some
pinging going on on the ride home from the shop which can point to
timing. But then again, I think the pinging might have been caused by
the 1/4 tank of 9 month old gas mixed in with the fresh stuff I had just
filled up with. Will continue to monitor the problem and look for other
posts which may solve this dilemma.

| Greg, Yup Marelli on mine. I had it rebuilt not too long ago. The problem was that the starter would start but not stop...even when I disconnect the starter solenoid! Had to be shut off by pulling the main battery wire to the starter itself. I didn't like that. I took it to a local guy and made sure I told him first that the starter was for a Fiat. Then when I brought it to him I told him it was for a Loopframe. He said that it was very similar and fixed it right up. No problems since other than the hanging up issue. Good luck and let us know what you learn.....Ian -----Original Message----- From: Greg Dahlman <gr-@rm-rf.com> To: 'Loopfram-@topica.com' <Loopfram-@topica.com> Date: May 6, 2001 10:46 PM Subject: RE: start question
