Unless misalignment is extreme vehicle should start, but excessive wear is placed on starter (bearings)
To replace the starter motor on a Yamaha Kodiak 400 ATV, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Remove the starter motor cover and the old starter motor by unbolting it from the engine. Install the new starter motor in the same position, securing it with bolts, and then reattach the starter motor cover. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the new starter to ensure it functions properly.
Could be the starter relay
On a star delta starter a motor overload or a motor going to ground and cause a short circuit will cause the overload protection to trip. These overloads have to be reset before the motor can be restarted.
The starter is just a DC motor so the motor gets dirty inside or the armature and brushes wear. If the battery is good and yet you just hear a click or nothing or even the starter spinning, the next most likely cause is the starter motor. They are cheap to replace yourself, though the job is a little tight. See wikianswer on 1993 Ford Escort for the process.
You shim the starter motor if there is inadequate clearance between the starter drive and the ring gear. You can check the clearance by prying the starter drive out to the ring gear with a screwdriver to see if the gears mesh properly.
No bad breaks can not affect the starter or the motor. Nate.
The starter motor is at the rear of the engine.
The starter motor is at the rear of the engine.
It certainly can. For any electrical item on a car to work properly it must form part of a circuit. The starter motor needs a huge amount of electrical energy for it to function properly. If the 'ground' or 'earth' connection is poor due to corrosion, poor contact or if it has worked loose and fallen off, then the circuits ability to supply enough power to the starter motor will be reduced and the starter will now work properly,
You can find the starter on the right hand side of the motor. The starter will be near the back of the motor. You can follow the positive battery cable to the starter.
Most likely the selonoid on the starter motor needs replacing
Which connects starter motor and the battery temporary to get sufficient power to starter motor.
