hi I'm haveing a similar problem with a type 1 trike motor less than 500 miles on it. the starter bendex hammers in and out not engaging the flywheel. fully charged 1yr old battery, cleaned all contacts even the comutator brush contacts, and had a 10 amp charger hooked up. still chika, chika.....
ran fine last november! I sure could use some help as well. Anyway If you pull yours its safe to use wd40 or marvel oil to clean it and fine sand paper to carbon off the brush contact point (comutator barrel) warning brushes are a btch springs can fly takes time to get them back in place. from what I've learned our problem is likely a low voltage ( bad batt or ignition wiring, or corroded contacts ) I just havent figured mine out yet.
