| Any thoughts or wisdom please..
I would welcome any thoughts or wisdom on a problem I encountered last Saturday in the middle of a 200 mile ride...
Mine is a 1998 ST2, excellent condition, 12K miles.
After stopping the engine, the starter button did nothing. No drain on the battery, no clicking, no noises, just nothing.
Everything else, including fuel pump was working as normal.
Bump started it - fired first turn & ran fine.
Stopped it again, & the starter worked fine every time & has done since.
I'll tell you what it wasn't:
It wasn't any relay, or any fuse and the battery was absolutely fine and full.
Fairly sure it wasn't the datatool alarm/immobiliser as that continued to operate properly.
The only thing I can think of is a dead spot on the starter motor (ie. a burnt out winding). Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Before I strip everything to bits, does anyone have any clues that might save me a lot of time and much bug*ering about?
Thanks in advance,
