    If the starter that works correctly is also a style 1 you might want to consider bringing that one with you for the guy to compare with the broken one. Maybe something is assembled incorrectly and he is just overlooking it? Lets just hope you don't get back 2 starters that won't release! :shock:

    By "Bench Test" I assume you mean they apply power and the motor spins and stops as it should but not under any load at all. I bet there is a mechanical problem in the area of the drive assembly which is physically holding the drive gear engaged with the flywheel which is in turn physically...

    The easiest thing to do is probably to check the injector line for air and fuel flow again. Start it up again and rebleed both cylinders. If its only running on one it will probably stall when you try bleeding the working cylinder. If bleeding shows good fuel flow and no sign of air you'll have...

    Do you mean its making power but the HZ gage is dead, or are you no longer producing power at all ?? Most common problem by far with the HZ gage failing is the frequency transducer mounted on the back inside the control cubicle. They fail at the drop of a hat! You can test it by hooking a...

    Verify the starter wiring is correct, then you could try putting a volt meter on the little "S" wire on the solenoid and see what happens when you let go of the start switch. If there is no voltage there with the switch release then most likely the solenoid on the starter is sticking on. If you...
