I have a 2002 scout with 1500 miles on it. Just put new battery in the bike. Having starter problems. The starter zinges but woun’t ingage. Do I have a ground problem or what?

There was some kind of a proplem with to small a relay and I think a wire that was causing a lot of starter problems. There’s a guy on e-bay selling a heavy duty relay and tips on other repairs…   Read more»

I have an ’02 spirit also. I get nothing when I push the start switch. I’m pretty sure it’s in the wiring. I had a new starter put in at 1500 miles. The original was too weak. If you’re sure…   Read more»

WOW… That’s a great online& nbsp;resource.  Thanks for the link and all the good advice from everyone.

here is my take on this. This motorcycle is a collectors item. So it can depend on many things. one being how much are you willing to pay for something. What do you intend to do with it. keep it…   Read more»

This bike is up for auction 1,000 miles away (in another country), so it’s kinda hard to get too many details.  Someone has bid around $3,000, which still doesn’t meet the seller’s reserve price.  I would only be interested in this thing if…   Read more»

Hi Rod,   Can you tell me if it is a 37 ci or 45 ci enging?  How many parts are not correct for this bike or does this matter to you?  How solid is the gas tank (rusty inside…   Read more»

Thanks for the good advice Atetu.  Can anyone throw me a dollar figure on what this bike is probably worth (assuming it is a 1928 model)?  $1,000?  $3,000?  $5,000?  $10,000?  I’d like to get a good deal on this thing, but don’t really…   Read more»

Hello, this is a scout model but is it really a 1928? Check carefully the serial number. I think you will have to straighten the fork, it is bent rearward and the fender is near to hit the frame. Check…   Read more»

With my Chief I decided to put in a King Clutch which is really pretty sweet. Though I must say just grooving your regular disks is almost as good. My 741 which I’ve had since the 70’s I pretty much…   Read more»

I want to thank you guys for all the great advice, I can’t wait to get it on the street, I’ve been working on it for quite a while,in between other things. I’ll probably have a few more questions ….   Read more»

I agree with Duckman about the lube. I also shy away from WD40 as it tends to “wash away” some of the better lubes.  I have a 1947 Chief and there is no return spring on the throttle, but it…   Read more»

i usually lube the whole length of the wires and a little bit on the sleeves moving parts. I don’t like wd40 or any spray lube for this as it attracts dirt. many people will probably pound me for saying…   Read more»

Duckman,the oil is pumping great, i thought that
