Hi all, I have got issues with the starter on my Lawson. It occasionally whirs when you start it up. I know it's the starter not engaging and i have had the starter out and also checked the rotor which had become loose. The starter seemed fine, when rotated, so I am at a loss now. The battery is fully charged according to the battery charger.
Cheers Rob

Most likely the 3 x springs & rollers in the starter clutch unit
Kits are readily available.

Piggy, I stripped those down and checked them as one of the bolts had come loose. Replaced the bolt and torqued up the rest. I might get a repair kit any way, just to remove the possibility of this being the fault

It could also be the starter clutch housing
I had similar with My 1100R

Cheers for the information, is the starter clutch housing the part that the springs and the rollers sit in? I know that zed power sell them, if that is the case.

Yes that's correct
