A warrior was not made in 1948. Tear drop tank emblems were last made in 1942. Do you have a picture you can post?

The latest Stark’s “Smoke Signal” has approximate values of different running Indians.  You can also look on ebay to see what various Indians actually sell for.

Thanks for the info TR. I’ll check with Randy Walker. I’m sorry but I don’t have any spares.

Bill,   You might try Randy Walker at Walker Machine.  He has done a few Powerplus bikes and may be of some help.  He has a web page but I don’t have his email address off hand.  You don’t have an…   Read more»

ebay has a number of dealers who offer factory starters for 00 Chiefs at very reasonable prices. I have seen a few still out there that are all chrome for a few extra $.  Aardvark makes a heavy duty starter…   Read more»

Yeah that sounds like it.  You can rebuild the solenoid or buy a new starter.  A new starter from indian motorcycle leslie would run 270.00 and it includes the solenoid bypass button.  Good luck.&

Thanks guys, I have the starter out with your hepl. The Starter is a Compu-lite high torque, is this a stock starter for the 2000 indian? Also, when I pulled off the end cover on the solinoid I can see…   Read more»

The system is dry.  The gasket can harden and get brittle.  The gaskets they sell at indian motorcycle leslie are very tough and can be reused many times.  If its not on the website you can call them.  They stock…   Read more»

The seals that they sell are made of a graphite and if you don’t tear them they can be reused many times.  They are very tough.  Even though you have a dry clutch system it may need the gasket changed.

The primary is a pretty thick gasket with a rubber seal embedded in the middle, if the rubber is still soft you could reuse it if you think your going to have it bck off real soon.

I did not realize I would need a gasket for the primary side, I thought it was a dry system there.

Is it dry, or just need a gasket to keep things clean?

Trip,  First make sure that the red LED on the ignition module behind the coil is turning on then off when you first turn the key on.  If it is working then the starter is probably the problem.  They’re not…   Read more»

Chopper6, The relay was ok, I bought a new one local and it did not fix the problem. I have checked with a meter and I am getting 12 volts to the starter when I push the starter button. Does…   Read more»

Hey Trip,

Go to http://www.indianmcleslie.com& nbsp; They have the relays and the bypass buttons for the starter selonoid in stock.  That way if you run into the problem again you can still ride.  Hope it works out.

I have the same problem as of yesterday, went to start and only heard a click under the tank. I have pulled the old relay off , where would I find a Heavy duty relay? What other bike shops would…   Read more»

I replaced mine with a Dyna 2000i single-fire coil ignition and have not had a lick of trouble since.  It has increased performance, gas mileage and starts up like a champ.  Best chunk a change I put into my “bad…   Read more»

Hi,

yes that relay was a bad setup.  Another way around the relay is to get a starter selonoid bypass button.  3 screws and the button is on.  Just push it in and your up and running.

Is’t that the relay that is undersized and
recomended to be replaced with a heavy duty
unit.

It is located on the thunderheart wirng module
between the gas tanks facing downward.
