No electric start

[Rod225]

Hi All,

I'm new to this site and I'm hoping someone can help me out.:beer

I have an 86 225DR yamaha trike with inoperative e start. There is a new battery and rebuilt starter but it just turns over with no engine engagement. I was thinking it was the starter clutch.

How can I go about checking for sure.( I know where it is and how to get at it.)

Just looking for a way to check the clutch and how much a new one costs?

Thanks,

Rod

If you can hear the starter spin with no engine turnover, then the starter teeth are not engaging the flywheel.

Take it out and test it.

You can sometimes take the starter off and spray the pb Blaster on the Bendix (which is the end of the Starter where the gear moves against the flywheel). and that will sometimes free it up so that it starts working.:idea:
