Hi guys.
New here, love my Beta, pleased to meet you
Beta 300 rr (2013)
My Beta's starter stopped doing its thing.
It's still swinging, but its not engaging the engine. Bendix isn't kicking out. I think this started at some point when the battery drained flat. But a recharge hasn't fixed it.
The battery has power, fan works, but I am not sure if it is maybe going bad and not giving enough "oohmph".
Normally when the battery goes a bit flat, this would happen. Then once it charged a bit during the ride, it would kick the bendix out again and engage the motor.
Bendix looks alright (from my limited knowledge on the subject). Havent tried another battery (as I don;t have a compatible one to try).
Any ideas? I was thinking of trying a car battery... not sure if it would be a bad thing. Both are 12V... should be fine, right?
Any ideas?
