Hi guys,to get the starter motor out do i have to take the rear pipe offand thebattery box out,the manual that i have just dosent have enough information in it, is the solinoid attached to the starter as well. I have got as far as taking the crank case bolt off, but cant seem to see what else needs to come off. Thankspaul

 

Remove whole assembly, two bolts on primary side and one under tapped block ( +cables)... much easier.Be carefull that you don't drop that washer from starter axle inside primary.

 

When you say whole assembly you mean the primary case.What is happening is when i start it the starter will engage for a few seconds then it i guess it dissengages if you know what i mean. thanks for the reply, paul

 

not primary, only assembly where startermotor and solenoid is mounted....look pics what PG was posting in topic about 73 primary...
