I am picking up an 82 Goldwing this weekend. The motor is out of it. Previous owner removed it to fix a starting problem. Here's what he tried.
Engine would start to crank and then stop cranking. Replaced battery. No fix. Removed starter and starter solinod and replaced both. First time he tries it, it starts like brand new. Goes for a ride and shuts it down. Same original issue, no start/crank. Removes engine, removes starter and has tested where he bought it. They inform him that a diode is bad. They give him a new one. With engine on stand, new starter installed, tries jumping the starter directly, same issue exists. Still no fix.
Any ideas or suggestions. I got the bike for a song, cause he got so frustrated. Also, with the engine out, should I do any other stuff, while I'm there. It has about 70000 kms.
Thanks in advance!
