Gasser starters
I know I'm late to the party,but I remember a CA. company named GOKI manufacturing. Who made starters for and still do for Honda big bore 4T's
like the 350's and so on.They look very similar to the present GG design. Please keep in mind these were designed 20 years ago. I thought this interesting. Perhaps a source for parts. Thoughts? John

I almost gave up on my e-start. After reading this thread and doing a little work it works 100%. Thanks a ton!

Although I haven't explored the availability of parts for the Gas Gas 2-stroke starters with them, Stockers Starters has been a great resource for me in the past. www.stockers.com
In addition to yamaha street bike and atv starters and Polaris starters, I was able to get all the replacement parts needed (including the square bodied sealing o-rings) to do repairs on my 2004 FSE 400. Thank you for taking the time to document your experience and findings as you worked through your starter difficulties. I'm still relatively new to the GG 2-stroke electric starter experience, but I can tell that my starter has some friction and slop with the bendix action. It works very well, as long as it's not too cold, so far, but I can see it acting up before too long. Thanks to this thread, I have a much better understanding of my starter, and what will need to make it work smoothly and for a long time. Good Ridiing and Wrenching to You All! Jim

I finally have time to work on my estart, because the wifey is out of the country. I took mine apart and all the parts look great with no missing teeth. I dont understand where you are shimming and how to you take the bendix apart to stretch the spring. I bought the bike used and the previous owner said that the starter was always hit or miss. But I am coming off a KTM and I want mine to hit Marc

The spring is inside the bendix unit. You have to cam the bendix unit open by hand and look under the sheetmetal housing to see the spring.
It is a very dainty spring, easily picked off using a scriber.

Yea I see it, but I dont understand how to pull it apart. But I dont understand why that needs to come out. I understand the larger spring at the end, but dont know how to stretch that one out.

So what I am finding is when the Bendix spins it does not go down far enough to engage the flywheel. Is this what others are also finding?

I bought a more powerful battery and now I e-start my bike every time , even when cold. My bike starts every time but not necessarily on the first or second push of the button because the starter will disengage way too easily. One leg kick will spin my motor twice as far as the e-start will turn it before it disengages on its own. Does this mean I need to stretch that small, weak spring you folks talk about?
