Not Starting but turning over w/ video was created by Jrbrownie00


I just got it to start over the past weekend and even took it out for a quick ride. The only thing i did different was go from a BP8ES to a B8ES (properly gaped). Any ideas?

Including information about bike year and model is helpful to viewers and usually elicits better responses.
It's easy to put the information in your signature where it shows in all posted messages, past and future.
And may be changed whenever and as often as desired.
If wanting a signature showing information about the bike in posted messages, it's easy to do. Here's how:

My starter clutch is failing. I either have worn springs/rollers or rounded years and the clutch will only engage at certain positions. I should have realized it right away but sometimes th obvious solutions aren't the first ones that come to mind. Thanks to my knowledgeable biker buddies.

To change that starter clutch is a job and a half. The 750s/650s were not diesigned like the 900/1000s with the starter clutch under the magneto cover instead they flipped the starter around and burried the clutch in the bottom end. Its a lost cause if you ask me, sorry :(

Lost cause? Why? The parts are still available and even though it not an easy job many folks have done it. It just takes time, the manual, and a few bucks. Ed

No shit, I'm w/Ed on this one... Weekend worth of work and she'll be like new.... ;)

While you have her out of the frame, time for new gasket and seal set including new head gasket she'll be good as new... May as well buff out some of those cases as well... :laugh:

I'm still riding it. :)

I'll fix it next time I have a free weekend, I'm trying to get the damn thing to pull through the whole RPM range right now. Needs a carb tune I think.
