What is the starter motor in my Kiaage 2 used for?

The starter turns out to be an electric motor within the engine of your Kiaage 2. The latter extracts electrical power from the battery to start, and pushes the engine to start. To be sure that it is indeed a starter malfunction and not a battery problem, we invite you to consult our text on starting problems. Now that you've determined the problem, we can move on.

How do I change the starter in my Kiaage 2?

Before starting the tasks, check that you have the essential tools. In order to perform such an operation you will need a filled toolbox, your jack, your wire brush but also a pair of candles.

Remove the old starter

For this operation, the most useful is to retain the positions, wires for example. You can spot them with a marker if you are afraid of forgetting.

  • Disconnect the negative terminal of your Kiaage 2 battery.
  • If ever access to the starter from the top is a little too complicated, we invite you to install the jack stands to be able to reach it from below.
  • Disconnect each of the power supplies that connect to the starter
  • Position your jack below the motor in the event that the latter staggers a little.
  • Clear all the fixings and remember the positions
  • Remove the starter
  • Keep the mounting base, since it will not necessarily be sold with the starter to be fitted
  • Clean the lugs that could be oxidized using your brush

Install the new starter

Now that you have learned the operation, you just have to perform the reverse maneuver.

  • Compare the old starter in your Kiaage 2 with the new one to see if there are any variations in the mounting system, which can happen.
  • Replace the starter base in its location
  • Put the new starter in its location
  • Make sure it fits perfectly in its guide and screw
  • Connect the power supplies to the starter
  • Reattach the negative battery terminal.

That's it. Now mounting a starter motor on your Kiaage 2 is not magic for you. Be careful on the road, and you can write a comment if this file has helped you!
