no start, just buzz

[prairiehorse]

morning.... here is issue:
05 rb with brand new wiring throughout. tired 3 different batteries (one was a braille, other lithium, other lead acid) all charged up.
Also switched out starters (out of the bike they spin over fine), also just put open primary on....
When i turn key on i get good lights (headlight, tail etc), but when i go to crank i just get a BUZZ sound. Checked grounds to frame and even replaced lead...no luck. Maybe i have to replace ground to starter.....
Any ideas that i have missed? It is a new wiring kit from Curtis...

You can spin the motor in neutral with the belt?

I bet it's the open primary. Which one you go with? Starter not lined up right? Maybe it's binding and can't throw the gear out?

Or like the others said can you even turn by hand?

Maybe it's the selinoid Spring.

1+ When you put on a belt drive you need to shim the starter so it's in the correct angle. Do you have the right jackshaft?

Is that why you don't understand starters

Gotcha... i will check turning belt n starter shim..... Starter did seem a lil hard going in. I will check. It is a karata 4" open.

Where did you say the buzz is coming from? I've heard of a buzzing issue coming from the connector which connects to the module on the RIP or ESC. That is caused by a low battery, just so you know in case that's where the buzzing sound is coming from.

Thanks brew... i will double check... Hard to localize it, but i would say that general area!
The belt does turn by hand..... still maybe i need spacer to allow starter plunger to engage! Fun Fun Fun....

I will check... i can turn the belt drive but i will try shim variations...

Every open belt I've put on required a different jack shaft. The stock one doesn't work. Did you get a new jack shaft with it?

With the Karata the stock should actually work.

BTW, where the hell did you get the Karata? Haven't heard much from them in a while. Is it used or they make it up for ya?

Karata will make you one, but I've heard the lead time can be up to 6 months or longer...

No i didnt... kinda flying blind here. No instructions either! lol. I got it off a member here. Good open, just taking a bit of time to figure things out.

When I put on my open belt drive on the dog I had to get this jack shaft to make it work right.

For 2005 and up you do not need to get a new starter gear with Karata, they were made specifically for our dogs. What were all the parts you got with the open belt drive assembly?

 

[prairiehorse]

Brew... been a while, but the 2 pulleys, belt, inner plate, gasket, pulley shims, couple washers.... all i can remember

 

[Brew]

Did you get different color springs, pressure plate and clutch pack also?

Should look like this, the only thing missing is the pulley end caps:

 

[prairiehorse]

Yes Brew. Sorry i have all of that as well n looks the same.
