CForce 500 / Cforce 520 Starter Motor Removal/Change
April 26, 2023, 08:03:07 AM
My Cforce 520 just clicks when I press the starter. I've googled quite a bit and done the following:
- Charged the battery and ensured it does lose much charge over 2-3 days - it doesn't so I think it's good.
- Removed and check the solenoid (all checked OK).
- Tried to jump-start form a car battery (the same clicking when I try to start).

My next check is the starter motor. I've removed the 4 bolts and the starter motor slides out OK, but I can't fully remove it because it will not pass the other engine parts.

Is there a technique I should use to remove the starter (so I can test it by connecting directly to the battery) or does the engine need to be taken apart to remove it (in which case I'll need a mechanic)?

Any help, advise or video greatly appreciated.
