Engine binding up (Read 58 times)

TomPlumber YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 4	Engine binding up 12/28/19 at 15:12:11 running into a problem with final engine assembly. The engine turns over perfectly with the starter when the two engine covers are not installed. Once I install either side the engine begins to bind up. Any ideas what could cause this?

Check the exploded parts diagram to see that you have all the shim washers in the proper places.
Try taking off just one side at a time to pinpoint the issue.
My guess is the left side, the stator is a strong magnet and can move washers around while installing it. If that is what happened, try a little grease on the washers to ''glue'' them in place during assembly.
good luck!

Cannot find good exploded view of magneto side to see if I have starter gear oriented correctly and location of washer
