Starter Motor Position

Hi guys and girls.
I was hoping someone could help me! I jumped into my ZT-T last night and it attempted to start for about 1 turn and now it's just going fast and not starting anything!! All lights come on ok and everything seems ok but still nowt! Now i'm hoping it's just the starter motor playing up but my problem is that i have absolutely no idea where the starter motor is???? HELP!!!

Not just a flatish battery, whats it doing?? Just spinning the starter motor over, without turning the motor.

You tried jumping it.

All the earth straps OK??

And when you find it, check the spade connector from battery to live feed on the starter motor.

Good luck.

Sounds like in the old days, when it wouldnt throw in and engage the teeth on the flywheel.

Clout with a hammer, or other blunt instrument used to sort it, till you took it off and oiled the pinion!!!

You tried the75 and ZT lot????

Well, got it sorted and she's up and running again!! I decided to get the good old RAC out to it, seeing i'm a full member i might as well get some use out of it!!
