| Hi, Rob. The starter on my Vert begain doing that and deteriorated pretty severely within two or three months. I took to carrying a heavy wire with me and arcing across the solenoid terminals, as someone else has suggested, but it's hard to goose the throttle while doing that. I took the solenoid apart and cleaned it up but messed things up soldering it back together. I ended up buying a new one from MG Cycle. It's getting to be that whenever I have a problem I feel like just buying new from MG - those guys are great. -Mike (69 ambo, 77 vert) |
Another good solution is just take the whole starter into a shop
that rebuilds starters/electric motors. One in Tulsa here redid
my whole starter motor, replaced the solenoid, repainted it to
look like new and everything for $80 a few months later my
starter died and a funny smell came out of it, I took it back
and they fixed it for free (though I don't know it was their fault)
