Installing new starter.

[handyrandy]

Got my new starter yesterday. And tips on not screwing up the installation?

Thanks!

Don't hit it with a bigger hammer? :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :mrgreen:

What I read is to tilt the bike way over to make sure the sprocket does not fall back into the engine?

I have only pulled a starter on an engine that was out of the bike and it came out and popped in no problem. I understand that leaning the bike over does keep the sprocket in place, but others will be along who have actually done this.

it wont br long your gona know everything about the goldwing as anybody else.. yeah the starter thing is realy tuff ...one bad move and it could be a big deal

good luck randy and dont make any forceful moves it dont go like that its just got to fall in place everything else is a bind.....

I `ve had mein out a couple times and never had any trouble getting it in or out.Easy job in my opinion.

Oh yeah,I never had to "Lean it over" or anything.

Well that took all of about 15 minutes. Cant believe I waited so long to replace the starter. I just greased the O ring a little and popped it right in. The old one dragged for the last 4 years, but always started the bike. Was getting worse though.

Got 'er done before I even had a chance to comment! :smilie_happy:

Good deal.

I used stockers starters on your advice and couldn't be happier. I cannot believe the difference. Why I put up with it for so long is beyond me.
