Weird ignition sound. HELP ME!!
« on: August 05, 2018, 04:52:18 PM »
Hi

Please look this video, and give me some tips what is that sound (at 0.05 sec)

The engine started without any problem. There is no faulty code.
Maybe the starter engine will die?

Thanks any advice...

Agree with the above, it sounds a mechanism in the starter motor. You can replace the starter motor, not a hard job.

Hi there,

I have to replace the starter clutch on my 2013 300i also.
What tools do I need and what size flywheel puller?

? ________ mm
? ________ male or female thread
? ________ left hand or right hand thread

Any other special tools?

Thanks in advance

Do you have a service manual for either model? That is the one thing the manual does well with sequence and pictures. Probably cyclepedia.Com is the best investment. There maybe a freebie from one of the guys on here. I am not smart enough to send you one!

Hi,

I have a manual, and it lists E003 as the flywheel puller tool, but it does not say what size or type it is?
Unless I missed it !@#$%

Thanks

I'm not sure how helpful this answer will be, but you could try contacting the service/parts people from the Kymco Distributor and ask them what the precise specs of the tool are.

In the US, the email is: ky3134@mail.kymco.com
Two things to consider...
1) The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse always gets the cheese.
2) Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.
