Honda start problem

    Folks,

    I might be guilty of a technical infringement here so if I am please forgive me for being a clot!!!

    The Honda I speak of is a 4 wheeled type - a quad - so 2 wheelers might thump lumps outta me for even mentioning it - anyway...

    This quad had a starting problem - which I eventually tracked down to the starter motor itself.I had this reconditioned and put it back on the bike.

    Problem was I had to open the starter crankcase housing to get it out and when I put everything back( sprockets etc.) as I thought it should go the starter is now turning but not "engaging" the engine and turning it over..

    It will start on the kick though

    What have I screwed up ???

    If yiz don't scream at me for even mentioning such an nasty thing in the firts place thanks in advance for any and all advice

    :confused:

    Maybe the starter is turning the wrong direction after the rebuild ( seen that once) , it would spin but not engage the starter clutch. Otherwise you must have left something obvious out.
