82 FXR ...new battery as of 3 months ago, along with new volt reg. When trying to start now it drags and all juice is gone after 2-3 attempts at starting. How do I check if its the starter, stator , switch...etc? Where to start?
the brushes in the starter are worn out and the metal tang is riding on the starters amature causing the thing to go directly to ground while cranking the motor - that will kill the battery in a very short order
