hi, i did some work to my primary,new inner race ,gaskets seals and such ,had inner and outer primary off ,had it put together for 2 months ,but been snowing and crappy out ,went to start it today ,and starter just wines ,put a charger on it showed 12.7 amps,could i screwed something up putting it together ,thanks

 

do i have to take clutch basket off to take jackshaft off and look if installed coupling correctly, thanks

 

Did ya mess with the stator, accidentally?

 

i had it off to take inner primary off ,what could i have screwed up there,dont know about this stuff

 

There is a coupling that has a C-clip in it. This C-clip is off-set within the coupling. See item 45 in the attachment. If this coupling is installed backwards the starter will act as you described.

 

thanks so far ,going to take primary cover off later today or tomm morning will keep you posted

 

thats what it was ,coupling in backwards,stupid mistake ,but cheap,my labor is cheap,thanks

 

Thanks for reporting back.

 

I admire people attempting their own work. We all make mistakes and so does the Harley Dealer!
