Well, it's been a while, but I'm making a comeback!
This Friday I'll be looking at an 81 GL1100 and possibly bringing it home.
The current owner states it needs work, but runs. He claims it needs a bump-start to get going, so the starter might be toast.
If/when I go and buy it and bring it home, I'll start a thread about it and go from there.
Any advice on getting an old starter to show signs of life? Anything I should look for to be wary of? I know to check oil, tires, fluids, brakes, cables, and lights. Anything else?
