Shootinman PM'd me with a question about his e-start slipping when he tried to use it. I thought I would post my suspicion since there are so many new members that have missed out on early discussions on this subject.
First of all, if you use the search window and tools, you can generally find many threads on the subject you need info on and increase your overall knowledge base relative to the Berg and how this web site can help you.
Now back to the slipping e-start! Refer to the attached page 34 from the 02 Parts Manual.
If your 01-03 e-start motor spins but the engine doesn't turn over then the item 8 'Gear Wheel Slip Clutch' is probably slipping.
If item 8 isn't slipping them item 10 'Clutch Mechanism Free Wheel' is probably worn and slipping inside of items 9 and 12. Some dealers will sell the item 10 separate from item 9 and 12 but others won't. Sometimes its just better to buy them together along with item 11 because items 9 and 12 also wear and to make sure you get it right the first time.
You will need to do the analysis to find out which parts need to be replaced. Refer to the 03 Workshop Manual, which is available as a download to the left in the Yellow column under Down Loads, parts lists.
Any more questions, let us know. '
Regards,
Joe
