yeah i think that’s my next move after i have a quick look at the carb. all the exposed cables that i can see look fine. there’s a few bundled cables (held together with like a sleeve). bit of a pain having to get the sleeve off and look through those cables but at this point i don’t know where else to look haha

these bikes have a rep for starting issues. i just cannot seem to get to the bottom of it. i have stripped down the carb before but i can give it another shot. i feel like its something so simple. something im overlooking. when i got the bike, it started perfect off the starter for the first day or so. i then serviced it and it stopped starting. she had been standing for a while so i did a battery change and oil/coolant drain and change. she started after all of that. then started refusing the next day. then again, maybe it was just horrible timing. thank you for all the help regardless

i tried disconnecting the yellow wire. i have the same issue. the green, white and red connections are in great condition along with the ignition module. they are both new and were replaced. i have tried to start the bike by connecting the battery to the starter motor via a jumper lead. same thing, turns over but never starts
-
just gave this a shot. the neutral light does dim and flicker but only very slightly. my bike has a battery voltage reading on the dash. according to my voltmeter i’m starting from 12.5v. when i start cranking, im getting 10.8-10.9. according to my bike however, im starting from 12.4v and when i start cranking im getting 10.1-10.3v. the readings you mentioned earlier, about the amperage. is it still worth giving them a shot. if so, can you confirm if my multimeter is correctly setup in the image i attached. thank you
-
about a year old? i think i’ve had about 3 different spark plugs fitted and the issue persisted

id need to check tomorrow Tinkicker. i’ll report back with findings RideWithStyles- carb bike

hi tinkicker, thank you for your reply. unfortunately i’m really clueless on this. i have a cheap multimeter. do i need it on the “10A” setting? i have attached a photo of it below (note that one cable is in the 10ADC plug, is this correct?). i probably should have mentioned that the bike does turn over. the starter is working but the bike still won’t start. thank you for your help, i appreciate it!

hi, i last posted on here over a year ago. i have a little 2010 Aprilia RS 50 that refuses to start off starter and only will start when being rolled and put into gear (jump start). once she has been started like this, she refuses to start again once turned off (she needs to be jump started again). what i have replaced (from the top of my head): (multiple) batteries x2 starter motor starter relay CDI stator top end i believe this is an electrical issue as when she is running, she runs no problem. the issue is, i am clueless when it comes to electrics. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could recommend some readings i can do. last thing, can someone please tell me what sort of voltage reading i should get between the battery and starter motor when cranking? the battery is healthy (over 12v) thank you !!

There wasn’t an issue with the bendix until 2 days ago. It just seems to be getting worse and worse I think this won’t start the bike as it had been fine all this time and still didn’t start. Probably has just happened as I often try to see if she’ll start and the battery has drained (bringing me back full circle to an electrical issue). Battery is reading 12V. A bit low in comparison to my first reading 12.4V. I don’t have a charger but I’ll get my hands on one and start from there. The loom in the bike is a quite worn. Previous owner didn’t take much care of it. It’s very poorly done up (it was trashed so many times, I have 3 different keys for the ignition, seat and tank from 3 different donor bikes). Electrical tape to cover up open wires is prevalent. I’ll see if it starts to turn over again once I charge the battery up.

Starter is actually the second one i’ve bought as the old one was completely burnt out. I took out the fly wheel cover and it’s the bendix that is not engaging with the flywheel. It isn’t springing forward (only does once the starter is let go of). According to google it’s because of a possible voltage drop. The starter doesn’t seem to be spinning fast enough to launch the bendix forward to engage the flywheel. Everything with this bike seems to lead me back to the electrical system. At this point, would getting a whole new loom be of any help (or a stator?? maybe even both)

I took a closer look at the starter cylinder and there’s this dried up oil? that had pooled up inside of it. This isn’t normal right..?
-
Got my hands on a circlip so needle has been sorted. The starter motor or the starting system inside the bike isn’t working properly and makes loud cranking noises as if something is stopping it from turning. Took the motor apart and couldn’t find anything unusual so i’m going to test it and look into the starting system inside the bike. Thanks for now everyone
-
Can’t pinpoint what’s wrong with the starter motor. Teeth on both the motor and what it catches on seems good. Might have been a case of not being tight enough. Have the carb out at the moment. I’m going to try find a needle clip as my DIY one dosen’t look the trustiest. Everything else in the carb looked fine to me. Probably not going to replace it. Size 82 main jet. Suitable? I’m thinking.. if the bike runs fine when it’s jumped, how could the carb be an issue? It’s got to be the starting system right?
