she starts easy and runs good but once she gets warmed up or a lil hot you shut her off and try to turn her over she turns over really slow and wont start like its binding up or battery is dead.... once she cools down she fires right up good and quick with no hesitation??? possibly bad starter/solenoid maybe??? iunno what do you guys think??

 

Hi JRad.

Check out this write up by Stu. It has a video of the problem. If yours sounds the same then it'll prob be the Starter Damper. It also explains how to replace it with the engine in the frame. Honda mechanics reckon it's an engine out, split the cases job.... LOL...

I've done the job and it's not as bad as it sounds.

Good luck.

Cheers.

 

well baz mine doesnt sounds like its so asthmatic, its just turns real real slow and hard... but it does then speed back up once it cools or sits a sec so maybe it could be..... i would count my cookies this is the problem

 

Mine is starting to do that BUT
When I charge my battery up fully, it doesn't happen.
My battery's about 3 years old, I'm hoping a new one will give it a bit longer.........
I hope yours is that simple...........
(If I do a few "short hops", ie only a K or two and then restart, battery starts to labour after about the third one......) - could it be ?
