Bit of thread dredge here :roll:
I bought an Alton Starter about 2 years ago for my Combat Roadster and due to hip issues was never fitted it as was not riding for some months then only the electric start bikes.
An Interstate came up recently that had lots spent on it for a reasonable for NZ amount. My plan was to fit the Alton to that , tidy up the Roadster and move it on.
Well....long story short fitted the Alton, rewired the bike complete with Shorai battery.
Tried out the starter several times in the shed and worked fine, then took the bike for a test ride.
Got home and tried the starter and grinding noise as described in earlier post.
Found the 3 'shear' pins had sheared off.
I had some 10mm silicon hose handy and made up 6 of them, put it all back together and it worked ....once.
So can I just get a length of Shore 95 10mm rod and fit 6?
Its a Combat engine which may have something to do with it.
Thanks
John
