Starter motor won't turn engine over

Post by Tony Mille »

On my S2 Mille, first it was an intermitant problem but now it happens more often than not......the starter motor spins happily when asked to, but it doesn't engage with the engine. Any advice as to what could be the problem would be much appreciated.

STOP - Don;t try to start your motor again until you fix this....

Your sprag bearing is toast. TIme for a new one, especially before it decides to almost catch, blow itself up and lodge bits everywhere in your motor.................

Ah yep it all makes sense, will strip it down over the next couple of days. I see you're selling sprag bearings at a very good price at the moment, so will order one plus any other bits i may need (gaskets)in the next couple of days. Thanks for your help Steve

Link to my shopping cart website is below in my .sig and with my new software, the SEARCH function is beyond good. Type in SPRAG and you are there. Or look in the ENGINE section. Or look on the index page as there is a photo and link to the sprag bearing..............................
