Misadjusted or bad clutch safety switch? Usually located at the upper end of the clutch pedal
Clutch interlock should only prevent you from cranking the starter without the clutch depressed. You should be able to push start with this malfunctioning since the rotating motor is doing just what it would be if the starter worked.
You should be able to turn the starter with little effort when it is not engaged with the flywheel.
the starter should not stay engaged after the vehicle is running. more than likely the armuertor or the bendix is faulty. replace the starter.
shaft should only spin one-way
you have to push clutch pedal in/then push the car let pedal out should start.
Start by removing the stator side engine cover. There should be around 10-12 bolts (8mm). Next pull the flywheel. On the backside of the flywheel is 8 Allen bolts. Remove these and your starter clutch assembly will be off.
If the clutch is engaged & turning, there should be no problem getting freon into the system, unless the orifice tube is plugged.
If the starter is whining while the engine is running at an idle you have a problem with the ignition switch or the starter solenoid is stuck. The starter should not be engaged while the engine is running unless you are holding the key over on the start position.
There is a switch on the clutch pedal that keeps you from starting the car in gear and killing someone. You should use your clutch anyways. Saves wear and tear on the starter and battery
Yes they freewheel until clutch engaged (air on)
You should try to bleed the system first. If that does not fix completely it is possible that you may need to adjust the slave throw.
The best thing to do is find the 2 adjustment screws for the clutch which are located attached to your clutch lever housing and on the clutch cable. Turn them outwards (lossen them) so that it tightens the cable and spreads the clutch plates apart, remember that you should end up with a gap (about the thinckness of a nickel) where the clutch lever and the housing rest as not to have your clutch partially engaged. If that is not enough and the bike wants to surge forward a bit then just adjust one of the screws (usually the one on the cable) until the clutch completely disengages the plates and the bike should not surge forward at all.
