Hello,
I've a problem with strating my Bike.
Yesterday i replaced the starter motor brushes on my 86' K100 RT,fiiting the new brushes was kind of a hassle,
I coldn't get the bottom part correctly on the housing.
Apperntly you have to twist teh two part on to each other, but in my case the brush plate was twisted as well.
Covering the screw hole in teh bottom part.
After a lot of fiddling around i manage to get all part toghterhe again. ;-)
After i placed the startmotor back in to the housing and reconnected all cables., i try to start the engine,
I only heard starter motor spin, but it wouldn't engage
.
The sprag clutch was recently replaced and was working fine up until yesterday after the brush replacement.
Couls it be that the starter motor is rotating in the wrong direction?
If so, how can i test this and how can i make it rotate in teh correct directing?
Any advice is highly appriciated...
