Back a few weeks ago I posted a problem with my starting system looking to isolate and obviously repair it to something reliable. Big Dogs are notorious for starting issues of all kinds.
I did what most of us would do, started with the obvious and simple and worked through to more complex tests as I couldn't get it resolved.
I also took the starter to Auto Zone for their free testing service and that's about all the test is worth, DO NOT take a motorcycle starter to an auto parts store, the test isn't worth your time.
Just for giggles I decided to test the "passed" starter the old fashioned way as I was out of ideas as to what the hell was going on in my starting system. Guess what? The damn starter couldn't even handle a completely unloaded bench test! So much for the Auto Zone minions testing equipment.
That faulty test wasted 2 weeks of my time after believing the starter was not the problem.
