Hi everyone I have 1988 Suzuki LT-4WD that elec starter won't work,It is a new starter but does not engage or anything seems to just spin.Does anyone have the break down of whats inside as far a gears or such or some way I can check the whole starting system. Thanks in advance

 

I have an Idea. (gonna take some work) but It may be the problem. First, If it were me, I'd take off the back plastic, and take off the starter, and look in the hole and see if I see the main starter gear. Then, if its in, you may have to pull the right sidecover to see if theres a stripped gear, broken gear, or a gear that somebody took out. (Dont worry about a sidecover gasket, On this side you can use silicone if you get it on really good and thick.

Also: Skematics of the inside of this motor can be found at Www.bikebandit.com Im not sure if it shows the gears or not though.

 

Come to think of it, I have a spare 1987 LT 250 motor all took apart in the garage (Which is cracked, unfortunately) I can take some pictures of the gears in there for you tomorrow evening.

 

It's your starter clutch (most likely). If your gear has all of its teeth, then it's the starter clutch. You will have to remove the side cover, and pull the flywheel.
