Re: Starter motor won't turn engine over
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

Starter motor won't turn engine over
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.

1985 Mille S2 crankshaft issue
On my last ride it developed a serious knock and rattle. I stripped it down only to find a lot of slop in the front big end. My mechanic informs me to get a replacment crankshaft and conrods, he doesn't recommend buiding it back up and regrinding it as it wouldn't be as reliable.

Thanks for that Steve, all my project pics are at "bikepics.com'' under Ducati,MHR 1000 (they don't have an S2 Mille catergory)
