Grandvista 250 / Re: Engine won`t start

Hello to all again. After some days with a lot of work i found time to work on the problem and iam very happy to announce that everything went very well. So you are wondering what the problem was.



As you can see in the photo above there is a chain called cam chain coming from inside the engine (right crankcase) and its work is to rotate the camshaft gear to get the correct timing for your valves. This chain was fall off somehow, so the valves wasn`t moving and the engine couldn`t start. I put the chain in the correct position and i resync the valves and babooooommmm everything is fine.



My next move is to replace the Cam Chain Tensioner (picture above)to ensure that the chain stays there. Many thanks to all of you for your answers.

Also i have opened everything like in chapter 10. Does anyone know what the part (i think it is called Gear Comp Starting Cluch) in page 10-5 first picture does ?

Many many thanks to both of you for your answers. MaryK the starter motor is working 100% and i know that because i try it alone (i remove it from the engine and i used only the battery on it and it spins). As for my mechanical experiance im not a F1 tech for sure but i can do all the services (oil, air filter, sparks, fork oil, chain) till now to all my motorcycles (now im riding a Strom 650) and i also have space and time to work on it. I want to give it a shot before i visit my mechanic. The truth is that this machine is so difficult to access but i hope i will manage.
Portland Steve, im not letting her ride it she is taking it behind my back ;D I have done all the things you suggest from the first moment and im sure that the engine is not turning on because i can listen the starter motor to work and nothing else moving, nothing coming out of the exhaust pipe. From the first moment i believe that there is a problem with the mechanism that connects the starter motor to the engine but im not 100% sure witch mechanism is this.

Hello to all and congratulation for the superb work you do here, i cant tell you how happy i am to find this forum. So let me introduce my self and apologise if my English is not the best. I am from Greece and we have a 2003 Silver Grand Dink 250cc in the family, used for town movement, shopping etc. All this years it worked perfect and i didn`t have any problems at all, but everything changed three days ago. My wife was in town for work, she parked and after 30-35 minutes came back to return home. She turn the key, open the kill switch and tadaaa the Motor Unit Starter is spining but the engine won`t start. Any ideas what this is ?
