Good morning,

I am working on my uncle's 2001 bomedier traxter st 500. The starter just spins. I put a new starter in and it just does the same thing. I am guessing it is maybe a sprag clutch or something. I am not familiar with these wheelers.

thank you for ur help

 

Several different versions of the Traxter 500 but all seem to show a stater gear and idle gear. Teeth may be chewed up causing starter to spin. https://www.canampartshouse.com/oemp...ectric-starter

 

When I had the starter out i could feel the gear that the starter spins and that one felt good. Is there any videos to watch on how to work on this problem? Could it be a sprag problem?

it is a XT

 

Same thing on the XT shows a double starter gear and main gear. Teeth may be good where the starter engages,but the smaller gear could be sheared where it hits the flywheel gear. Doesn't show to have a one way sprag clutch.

 

Have you ever changed one? How do I change it?

thanks

 

Nope,I havent but you have to pull the cover to check things out. This can help a lot better than I can at 5 bucks.2001 Bombardier Traxter Service Manual PDF Download
