Noisy starter motor
 

After my bike went "bang!" it was laid up for about 6 months. It has just been rebuilt, with one problem: the starter motor makes a horrible screeching sound. Has anyone else come across / solved this problem?

Hello sounds like an bad/dry bearing. A starter motor is a wery simple construction so it should be an easy fix.

God luck

Thanks - I'm planning to take it out and have a look round, soon.

check the carbon brushes: this has just happened to Mark Crook's bike and I've just ordered him new brushes from top-banana Dave Silver. let me know if its the same problem.
