Title: Problem with starting the bike Post by baretta880 on 05/06/11 at 02:03:39 I assume that the starter relay/solenoid is broken because after jumping with screwdriver the bike refused to start. With weak battery I tried jump start with car battery connected to bike battery and only outcome was the bike kept starting it self after I unconnected the jump cables. (The  starter itself didn't make any sound only revs going up and down and no throttle response) Any help?? Decomp. solenoid works fine and I have cleaned the carb.

Sometimes a starter or solenoid can be tapped with a screwdriver handle to get them working correctly. Is this just a thing that started suddenly on a good running bike, first  time crank this year, or a bike that is new to you? It took me three tries yesterday after awhile in the shed, because I forgot to turn on prime before cranking.
