The starter is starting to weaken, so it's time to replace it with a new one. Do not leave it lying around if you feel it weaken, because when the starter is permanently broken you will no longer be able to start your Kiaage. Here is a small guide in order to replace its starter and know its activity.
What is the starter for my Kiaage used for?
A starter turns out to be an electric motor inside the engine of your Kiaage. The latter extracts electricity from the battery to be able to turn, and gives the impulse to the engine to start. To be sure it is a starter malfunction and not another problem, we suggest you read the article on starting problems. Now that we have determined the malfunction, it is time to get to the heart of the matter.
How do I change the starter on my Kiaage?
Before starting operations, check that you have the necessary tools. If you wish to carry out this operation you will necessarily need a complete toolbox, your jack, a wire brush but also two candles.
Remove the old starter
In order to perform this action, the most important thing is to correctly memorize the positions, especially for the cables. We invite you to mark them if you are afraid of forgetting.
- Disconnect the minus terminal from the battery of your Kiaage.
- In case accessing the starter from the top is really difficult, we invite you to use the jack stands to be able to reach it from below.
- Disconnect all power supplies that are connected to the starter
- Place a jack under the engine in case it moves a little.
- Remove all fasteners and retain the positions
- Disassemble the starter
- Recover the fixing frame, because it will not necessarily be sold with the starter to be assembled
- Rub the pods which will sometimes be oxidized using a brush
Install the new starter
Now that we have retained the operation, you will almost have to do the opposite manipulation.
- Compare the old starter on your Kiaage and the new one to see if there are any dissimilarities in the mounting system, and this is not unusual.
- Reclip the starter armature in its place
- Put the famous starter in place
- Make sure that it is correctly on its guide and screw
- Reconnect the wires to the starter
- Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Its good. Now mounting a starter on your Kiaage has no secrets for you. Be careful on the road, and leave us a comment if this little tutorial has made your task easier!
