starting probs

[gixxer-fixxer]

my 89 slingy had a petcock leak,and I have replaced the petcock,Now the electric start wont crank the motor over.The battery is fully charged but all I get is a click from right hand side device.Is it possible that the petcock dripped fuel into the starter motor and caused it to seize?:)

no! Most probly comp lock IE fuel in the barrel or the starter motor is up the shit

thanks oldskool but the bike push starts ok

Fucked starter motor, easy way to test is to remove said starter motor and hook up to jumper leads + on the bolt and - to the body offer the shaft up to a piece of wood and if she digs holes she no fucked then you need to look at your starter cluch.;)

If the starter seems okay off the bike, could be a bad earth, or your starter relay has burnt/bad terminals, and won't allow enough current through to run the starter.Could also be a flat battery, enough power there to push start, but not enough to fire the plugs, and the starter together.
