davidelliott294 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Is that from cold?Nah, was up to temperature bud. I will see what happens later on tonight when i'm out in it. Runs flawless though (not knocks/bangs/misfires when running), pulls through the gears fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelliott294 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Never done it this morning hmm.How do I know if the starter motor is failing? I turn the key and sometimes the starter just makes this horrible noise, turn it back and turn try switching it on again and it starts. Is this a sign of it ready to fail or just wear?
