AHHHH, that must be it! Remembered hearing something like that, thought it was starter related though. When I got my replacement, I was asked which one I had (Marelli) and that is what I got in exchange.

You can't use a Marelli regulator with a Bosch generator & visa versa.
BTW you can use a Lucas (car) regulator with a Marelli gen.
I can't see why you can't use any starter that fits.

Z,
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I was told if you have a Marelli starter, you can't use a Bosch in it's place, something to do with the electronics of the bike, perhaps a Marelli generator/regulator not being compatible with a Bosch starter???? Just wanted to mention it just in case. As for the junkyard, wish there was one this way! If you find any of those old style "boot guards", those 1/2 moon shaped guards that bolt onto the valve covers, let me know, I'd like a set!
Thanx!

my Marelli starter is poopy. Last week I mentioned this to a dude and he
says he has a bosch. SO saturday I went down and met up and he gave me the bosch starter. yes the solenoid goes UNDER the starter.
I ask him how much. He says "See if you can use it. then let me know and
we'll figure something out."
Bitchin.
I stuffed it in my tool roll and headed down to the buckaroo for a beer.
Down there I ran into greg field. I've known him for a while, so it wasn't like an odd thing. We get to yakking about my green ambo. And he says he has some stuff for me. Next thing I am down in a semi-junk yard/shop ownded by a friend of his. and we go digging for the stuff.
Hanging around a junkyard on a sunny afternoon, drinking beer and talking bikes. Yeahhh!
why keep having rallies at campgrounds? They should be held in junkyards.
