New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Just saying, but it just may not be the starter.. there are many low voltage to the starter fixes posted here.
I guess I should have bench tested it but I have been pressed or time over the past month or so, and the new ones seemed pretty cheap and I had assumed that the old starter was original to the bike (which I now know is obviously not the case, though I do suspect it is at least 15 years old).The symptom: sometimes I press the start button and it fires right up. Other times I press it and all I get is a click at the relay (which has been replaced/swapped out and is definitely not the issue). Some times, if I hold the start button down, I get the relay click, but the starter doesn't turn over, until after having held the starter button a few times). A variation on that is that I push the button, nothing but relay, push it again, nothing but relay, push it again, starter motor turns, often a bit slowly at first.Voltage to the starter motor solenoid (red wire) is acceptable when the starter button is pressed.
