Kregerdoodle Posted April 10, 2009 #2 Posted April 10, 2009 How difficult is it to remove a rope?? LOL Sorry couldn`t help it....
StuD Posted April 11, 2009 #3 Posted April 11, 2009 Its tucked up behind the radiator. Remove the rad cover, bottom cowling (chin), remove bolts holding rad in place, there should be enough room to remove starter. :canada:

Snaggletooth Posted April 11, 2009 #8 Posted April 11, 2009 Stud had a good start but there is a little more to it. I had to loosen the right hand header pipe a bit to get some wiggle room to pull the starter out along with removing the thermostat housing cover to have room to slide the stater back from it's mounting position. I replaced the brushes on mine and added a second jumper wire to the plate for better contact. A good cleaning and lube along with the 4 ga. wires and all my starting power problems were gone. Due to the location of the starter it's a PITA to do but it's worth the effort in the end result. And hang onto that piece of rope. You can use it to tow the 2nd gens so they can keep up.
