Thanks Kaspar, your logic proved to be spot on. The plates were upside down. So I said to myself "OK, this is the last time I'm pulling thisalternator out of this bike. If it doens't work this time, so be it". I flipped the plates over on the damper, had to persuade the circlipback into its groove, and...I can now start the bike...It turns over exactly as I'd expect a healthy bike to do.
Its funny though. I was basing the layout of these three spring plates on the fact that the one thatcame out of the bike, and the second hand one I got, both had thespring washersthus ||||>>>|
The originaldamper did have a homemade washer in the mix as well, so am wondering if this was to compensate the lack of pressure on the plates because the spring washers were upside down...?
Anyway, its all good news, and many thanks to you Kaspar, and your pictures...

Congratulations to you both for your persistence and tenacity. Having watched this issue from afar (fearing it might happen to me one day) I'm impressed and happy to see how this forum and goodwill can resolve many technical issues.
Kaska and Stuconz, congratulations to you both.

Excellent Stu!
At finally bike is ok It's like Christmas miracle
I hope you won't sell her anymore?
I am pretty sure that the homemade washer was there on that reason i was thinking to add a homemade washer to my damper also when i dealed it, but luckily i did not need it as the springs where hard enough.
Anyway always happy to help and glad to hear that one hurricane again moves and without paying the fuel money to bikeshop
