    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

uh oh... that doesn't sound to good

I have put the gs1000/1100 project back together after anumber of problems... and she runs fine. still cosmetic work to be done... will post pics.

Only problem is... when I start it for the first time it sound like that the starter is spinning but hitting something... bit of a loud clank

yet doesnt do it when warm... then next day will do it again... first time.

I tried pulling the clutch in when starting and it didnt do it.

any suggestions... i know the battery aint charging well.... could it be just battery bit run down? or could it be starter clutch
 
I dont think the battery is really weak... so sounds like starter clutch... is that a big job?
 
I believe you have the same problem I experienced after installing a Wiseco 1085 kit especially since you state it happens in the morning when it's "cold" and does not happen when it's warm. So I would suggest the following

1) Verify you Charging System is operating per the Stator papers, then

2) Read the thread below and focus on Option #2 which lets you spin the motor first w/o turning on the Run switch till it's spinning fast enough
