Ive got an 88 Sammy 1.3 and it runs great up until two days ago when I went to start it and click click click... no fire. I can pop the clutch and get it going no prob.

Anyone know what can be done? I know the starter didnt crap out all of a sudden.

 

eh, when all else fails just hit it with a hammer. seems to be fine now

 

if you can hit it with a hammer and it works the starter is on it's way out . .has a bad spot in it . . . will work fine unless it gets in that one particular spot again . . but after a while hitting it with a hammer won't work anymore . . . recommend replacing it before it gets that bad . . .

 

gotcha, thanks man.

 

clicky starter fix

google it

 

Starter motor clicks when ignition key is turned:
This is a common problem where the starter will only click when the ignition key is turned, rather than starting the motor. There are several possible causes of this. Typically, if the battery is in good shape and is fully charged with good connections, the starter's problem could be caused by a bad key ignition switch, a loose, corroded, or broken wire at the starter, a corroded solenoid plunger, a bad clutch pedal lockout switch, or worn brushes within the starter. Typically, this problem is caused by too-little voltage getting to the starter motor due to age and corrosion all along the ignition system and in the ignition and clutch pedal switches. Many Suzuki owners go for years without fixing it, just becoming accustomed to turning the key repeatedly, clicking several times before it'll start. Others have wasted money on new or rebuilt starters, only to find that the problem persists. The least expensive fix is to use the wire going from the ignition as the trigger for a 30-amp relay going from the battery to the starter.

 

word, thanks bro
