This means I need a new starter right?

no, the wreck of a bike I got was more but it has other good parts that will make it pay for its self. I'm going to part it out soon.

Dude do not part it out unless you need the money cos the very day you sell a part is the day it will die on your bike.

The parts bike had an almost new starter on it. My bike starts right up now.

Man a sweet thing

did you pay less for the donor bike than the price of a new or re manued starter?

I've got the stocker site bookmarked. I am likely picking up a parts bike tomorrow if I cant use the starter off of it I'll get one from them.

Thanks for the help everybody!

In the first picture, you can see the hole where the smoke came out.
Probably not going to work anymore if some of the smoke is missing.
It's hard to put smoke back into anything, especially a motor.
I'd replace it.

@JEEPRUSTY Thanks for the info!

I did all the tests, it was all OK and I cleaned it up good. It turns but slowly like the battery is weak. I replaced the battery last weekend and cleaned all the connections between it and the starter. I checked the starter clutch and it seems to be working properly. I think I just need a new starter.

you cleaned up yhe commutator, cleanead and reassembled?

i dont think these spin very fast i think they rely on gearing to up the rpm to the crankshaft,

also you need a good battery and nice tight clean connections.

i think it burned cos of dirty commutator and brushes

[Redman]

The commutator bars are rough but could be touched up by machining or otherwize, but the burnt places in the windings - you are not going to do anything about that and there are probably other places almost as bad. So it looks like the best use of that starter is for a "core".

Have you found the Stocker site for rebuilt starter motors? I have gotten rebuilt starters from them with good results. And I have also gotten replacement brush kits to rebuild some myself.

If it looks and smells bad, bury it!

That one should work ! Make sure you starter clutch is working properly like in releasing...

Lookie what I stumbled across!
ebay item # 260593712818

typo on shipping! It might be the right one.

[tom203]

That's ugly! Don't worry about what happenned, just get new/ used one - maybe someone on this forum sells them. Prices on ebay vary wildly- I think yours is a popular starter motor.
Of course, when you put new starter in, make sure the starter clutch is ok.
