1986 fxrc starter sluggish help
hi all and thanks in advance for your help
I have a 1985-6 fxrc and the starter is slow, when I say slow its very intermittent one time it will spin over like hell then suddenly slow, I press the starter again and you never know if its going to spin over properly of slowly.
I have replaced the solenoid with an new accel unit.
I have replaced the starter with a new unit
I have checked the earth
even when I arc out the starter relay with a jump battery connected its the same
HELP!!!!

did a bit more digging and found an interesting youtube post on the early evo and big twins and i think i have found the culprit, the starter clutch doesnt engage all the time, hopefully sorted

right!!
the plot thickens.....
took the starter clutch off and yes it was totally buggered, yippeeee, not so fast, im taking one step forward and three back on this job
all back together and yep the starter doesn't kick out like it did but even with plugs out it really wont spin over like it should and the starter gets really hot in a short burst just as if its binding up,
ive checked the needle rollers in the primary case and the rollers in the starter housing all look good.
i know im going to get a load of "check the connections etc but i have been wrenching on bikes and cars for the past 50 years and this has me foxed, can there be misalignment in the starter?

all that effort and i was as far as i can see a combination of starter clutch and bad earth onto the starter relay under the right hand panel, hay presto the earth onto the relay body was loose
