primo rivera starting issues help!!!!!!
primo rivera starting issues help!!!!!!
ok here's my settup
i have an s&s v111" super stock ignition
using the stock inner and outter harley primary (vented)
a primo rivera 1 3/4" brute 3 belt drive
a rev tech 6 speed tranny
a spyke 1.4 kw starter
and a drag specialties battery (gel)
my problem is every like 3rd or fourth start its grinding kinda like
when you restart your car??
when it was happening or i should say b4 it happens i'd leave it in first gear bump back on the starter then pull clutch and start it seemed to clear it up
i havta test that again though
ok other thought may be crazy i swapped out the old starter bolts for stainless steel versions of them now i'm thinking is it possible these bolts which stretch more than grade 8 bolts...are they loosening up under the pressure???

Moving the bike back and forth won`t do anything, because the starter can only be rotated if the starter pinion gear is engaged. Unless you are doing this while the start button is pressed...
I think the starter clutch is your problem.

well why i think it's happening or i should say why bouncing back on it is working is the pinion gear is getting caught....talking with the guys from spyke they sent me a simple relay settup to circumvent my thunder heart controller stating the thunder heart controller uses a micro 30a relay and when it get's hot is not enough to turn the starter and return the pinion gear
