Just purchased this bike, and it did run... but now it will not
start.........will not turn over.
Got New Battery, still will not turn over, just "CLICK"
Took starter off, and opened it up. Found that the two magnets each broke
in half, and each half was loose. So I crazy glued the loose halves back
inside, after cleaning all sufaces. Brushes were very dirty as well, and
cleaned everything with electric parts spray cleaner.
Put starter back together again, and put it back on the bike. Still will
not turn over, just "CLICK"
Going to take starter off again, and check all connections, and do a bench
test to see if it turns.

Any help, or suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Dennis

Well, just in case someone would reply to the post..... I have found the
problem, and the bike is now running.
Thanks for all your help!

Um ... I think you are missing the point of the newsgroup. It would
be useful for you to share your experience. These groups don't work
without answers to the questions posed, even if the original poster
answers his own question ... grin!

And don't worry about exposing a mistake ... I think I'm the only one
I know who has NEVER made one.

The problem was..........

Two of the brushes were not making contact.
