starter trouble

Post by mterrens »

A non-member wrote me to ask about an issue he is having with his 600's starter. Could someone please reply to him directly at crx_ef8@... , and copy the group on it as well? Thanks! Here is his email to me...
Hi, I have a 1972 honda z600. I have a question my car runs fine, it starts
up fine. but for some reason out of no where I tried to start it the other
day, the starter woundnt crank. the starter gear seems to get stuck in teh
tranny. I took out the start to give it a test, it spins fine. but when I
put it back in it will get stuck.. so i went and have the starter replaced
and its still the same problem.
could it be the transmission? all the gears on the transmission are fine,
its weird when i put the starter back in the tranny and crank it the starter
would get stuck, jam and if i hold it for long time i will see smoke comming
from the starter. oh and i did crank the engine with a a wrench and it spins
fine. maybe the flywheel is loose? in the tranny. please email me back and
let me know what i should do.
THANKS!

Hi Tran;
Two things will cause what your experiencing; 1 - the bendex gear was
changed out with a Datsun 510 starter gear which was claimed to be a
replacement, not.
2nd, you may have the correct gear on the bendex but the bendex needs to
be rebuilt.
So if you have your starter rebuilt, the Datsun 510 bendex is still
listed as a replacement.
