Hi everyone,
The starter on '73 CB450 has not been working. Makes a gravely, grinding noise when the ignition switch is hit. The starter motor seems fine and when I look at the sprocket & chain it appears the chain is very loose and likely skipping. Is it possible the chain just needs to be replaced? Below are pictures of the sprocket, chain and casing. Does the discolored area in the casing look like wear from the loose chain? Im also thinking to replace the sprocket while Im here although it does seem to look like others for sale online in terms of wear.
Thanks!
