2001 Harley Davidson FLHT Electra Glide Standard Questions & Answers
How do I remove the starter on my 2001 electra
helpful hint with this starter problem' firstly Harley starters rely on a 4 brush system 2 negative and 2 positive ..if you have to tap the starter with a hammer or something else you are making the brushes make better contact with the armature...if all four brushes are not making contact the starter will only have half power and will try and spin over then stop...if you persist in trying to start it this way then there will be damage to the armature contacts and the solder will melt damaginging the unit big time
best cure is remove starter and replace starter brush kit ...cost $20 plus labor also looking at the vid clip that when working on Harley is always best to use thread lock..blue on any thread in a motor that unbolts or unscrews
lots of luck
