Hi there,
First post on the forum - I have the following problem - i have an 88 or 86 (not that it should matter) DOHC SX 400 and i have been debugging not starting problems. I tested the starter solenoid - all works. Tested the starter - it also turns. My initial assumption was that the starter was not deploying but after removing it, it would appear to me that this particular starter is not the retractable type as there is a cogwheel right in front of it which seem to always be engaged with the starter.
Do you have any suggestions or a diagram of the right side of the engine block so i can see what the engagement mechanism is.
Thanks a lot
Cheers
