Hi,

I just upgraded my e-start on the 2014 gas gas to the 2017 model. Mine made a hell of a noise when first using it and the motor was getting hot. If the bendix is too tight in the bushes in the engine case it will bind and won't have the inertia to "fly out". I removed the bendix, dabbed some light grease in the bush and its fine.

Incidentally - if anyone wants to know how to fit a 2017 e-start to a 2014 ec300 (i.e. replace the rubbish unit) without changing the crank case get in touch. I designed a spacer ring and have a drawing I can send of the part to be machined.

Regards,

Gary (UK)
