1976 cb550f starter problems
« on: September 14, 2015, 05:33:28 AM »
Hey guys

So for the last couple of months my starter button has become less and less efficient to the point now where it barely works. When I press it, the headlight turns off as it should but nothing happens, silence.
This hasn't bothered me too much as I quite like kick starting it. Although the kick starter seems to not work all the time now. Most of the time it kick starts first time, although every now and again if I don't turn the throttle enough on the first kick, the bike won't start for a couple of minutes. Every time I kick it, it is silent, it sounds like nothing is happening.

Any ideas on whats up? Oh yeah also, the starter button when I do try it, gets a little stuck and slowly pops out, I'm not too sure if that makes a difference to kick starting it.


Thanks

Lewis

Will this effect how the kick starter works?

Or is that a different problem?
