    starters

    the starter went out last night on my 80 sg, i took it off the bike and tried to engage it with the battery and nothin. (well except when i hammered on it and it started to turn lol) is there a difference between specials and standard when it comes to starters or would this on work??

        For that price you can get a re-build kit and go through yours, Clean up the commutator, install new brushes and clean / lube the planetary gears. at least you'll know what you've got.

        Rather than buy someones' old used junk ?working? starter?

        I've used this kit from this guy, good stuff.

        Former owner, but I have NO PARTS LEFT!
