Replaced starter and now the starter drive runs for approx. 1.0 sec after engine is running. What can that be? Is ther solenoid bad, or what? Please reply

 

BigBuckz, there have been a couple of recent threads about this.

I too noticed this on a brand new machine and the dealer said it was normal ???

anyway, it appears to be a known quirk with a 500

 

the starter drive gear in the recoil starter case ? or the starter motor you replaced keeps running? if it is the starter you just bought i would probably say check connections with battery to starter dont know if it will help but couldnt hurt

 

Thank you the information, the web link made me feel a bit better,
I never noticed the noise until the starter was changed.
It was probably always there, just concerned.

Thanks Again

 

The starter drive in the recoil case , which is the Bendix.
It will humm for about 1.0 sec, I pulled the pos. off stater to drop power ASAP
the problem is still there.

Thanks

 

Thanks BigBros.
The web link made me feel much better than iI did
before I started replacing the starter

Thanks

I took my Bendix drive out and removed the spring and stretched it out abit. Now it seems to disengages the bendix drive gear from the flywheel much faster after start ups.
