Lights come on but starter won't turn
07/18/08 at 17:32:09
Okay, I put the FireLizard all back together, but nothing happens. Lights turn on, decomp solenoid activates, but the starter won't turn. The starter solenoid just buzzes.
Any suggestions? It is in neutral and I pull in the clutch, as well as have to kill switch in the "on" position.

If it was the Ford pickup I used to own, I would give it a good swift kick in the solenoid (with a screwdriver handle) to make sure it wasn't stuck. On a Savage, I don't know. Man, you are having a rough go of this.

I'm thinking it just may be the battery. After all I kill it several times trying to start it up previously and may have wiped it out. Though I have refilled the water level and have had it on the charger. On the charger now in fact. We'll see I reckon in a little while.

That's an understatement to say the least. Just tried to jump it from my daughter's car, I got it to spin over, so it probably is the battery. We'll see what happens after a little while on the charger.

Put a tow rope in your teeth, get the daughter going about thirty in her car, then pop the clutch. It probably won't start the bike, but it'll make me feel better about grabbing Kay's exhaust pipes on the GZ250.
Good luck.

Can't get daughter to do that, she's in jail for beating up her ex-husband.

But there's your sign never gets old,unless it's toward you.

It was in another thread though I don't remember which one.
No, it doesn't get old.

Battery would be the 1st guess, but...
check the ground to the engine and check the starter switch.
good luck
ps... my method of push starting, put her in 1st, clutch in, push her as fast as you can go, starter button, after 1 rev pop clutch, if you still have all the safeties, no need to worry about starter button. as soon as you let out clutch starter deactivated.

Just tried it again. Turned key, hit starter button, one click from the decomp and all lights die.

Sandy that was hilarious.
I'm in tears laughing.
Been there,done that.
That's ok,couple weeks ago had a flat on the '86.I had another wheel/tire leaning against the bike with a jack underneath it,had a guy say"you have a flat on the rear".Had to say it,nope,front tire swelled up from the heat.This is at an aviation school mind you.Scary.

i have drained mine completely and it would always start with a jump. i have a very large semi battery, just for that purpose. kinda wierd that it won't turn over with a jump.

Okay, got it to turn over with it's own juice, but she won't fire up and catch. (imagine me scratching my head in bewilderment) By the way, it was the ground wire.
