Gotcha, mine had some gunk around the base of both tubes. I'll flush some gas through it before I hook it up. Debating whether I should take the pump apart and clean it. Don't want to wreak the soft parts.

Man I'm ready for some warmer weather. °17f out in the pole barn and maybe up to 10" of snow coming. I did get a contours in yesterday. Wheel cylinders in, most of the brake parts cleaned up and ready to reinstall, brake vent lines on and secured, carb drain installed rear brake cables adjusted.

I've heard our valley called little Saskatchewan. It lives up to its name. I found my little torpedo heater, makes it bearable. Woke up to this .

Hunh? Traced power into and out of the key switch. The kill switch is not acting right. So I have to take that apart. Sitting there looking at it I figured I should look inside the master cylinder since I'm putting new wheel cylinders on. It was crapped up so cleaned it up. Banjo bolt had crud so that means the lines are yucky, right? Tried to spray some cleaner through and no joy. So since they're unhooked and all I should use the compressor to blow em out. Then the heater ran out and the air machine is in another building so, wait she said we were going to make ice cream.

I should have splained better. Took the master cylinder off, swabed it out with a rag and screwdriver. Sprayed some carb cleaner in it and scrubbed with a little brush. Tried squirting carb cleaner through the hoses. No joy, so next I'll have to blow through them.

It could do but I would have thought it would at least try to turn engine. I wonder if someone hasnt removed an idler gear so as to disable lectric start ......like if it had a jammed starter clutch ( both my engines do this ) , so now the pull start will work ( it doesnt if the sprag is jammed ). Sooooo, Id yank the cover and make sure all the parts are there 1st (I have one in pieces if you want a picture.
This starter motor is very common , different mounting lugs but .......well the brush kit fits straight into my Ducati starter and the whole thing looks the same . Reason I mention this is that aparently ( according to some Ducati owners ) this motor can be assembled wrong and the starter will run backwards. I havnt figured out how this happens ......my guess is that the field windings are fitted arse about face.......which is possible. So maybe check the starter is turning the right way .🤔🙂

I took it apart to clean it, but don't see how it could be backwards. The commutator wouldn't be in the right place for the brushes to ride. May be though I guess 🤔. I'll check it anyhow. I'll pull another starter and try it. It wouldn't be rigged to pull start only. Being on those ski slopes in the dark pulling snow guns around they'd have to push button start. I'm going to pull the cover on the motor thats on the shelf anyhow, but thanks for the picture offer.

So should it turn clockwise, looking at the spline end?

I'm feeling stupid. Counterclockwise looks more right. And the starter can only go together one way. How could I have screwed that up? I didn't take the brush plate out of the housing.

And since it was wrong I deleted it. 🙃

The sprag clutch is behind the rotor . Those cap screws you can see the heads off hold the sprag clutch assy to the rotor . The proper tool is essential as Im sure you can see . The rotor is real tight , I had to ( twice ) make sure I was applying the puller correctly ( dont tighten the screw on sleeve against rotor .....leave a thread so the rotor has room to move .........that didnt happen to me 🙄......very nearly tho 😁) a bit of kinetic spanner on the puller bolt ( left hand thread ? ....beats me ) helps to break the taper .So I did a thing.

My puller cost me 150 bucks by the time it hit my doorstep . Having to buy expensive single use tools ( it dont fit nothing else ) is annoying because thats enough to make some repairs cost more than they are worth.
