fellas T135,
can anyone experience with this problem. since i change the faito turbo cams my electric starter is not working ? when i press the e-starter its like im going to low battery, even just went from a long drive it never work. the red light in front panel went on, almost 2 months now im using my kick start. it feels discomfort in my part coz i got this knee injured. i went to battery shop to check if theres something wrong with my battery but they found out that my battery is ok( i saw it using the multitester attached unto my batt.). guys i need your help here. i appreciate your bright ideas and comments guys. TIA safe ride fellas bros t135.

try to jumper it just to see if the battery can still provide enough juice to start ur engine, get a vise grip or any metal object and try to clamp those 2 thick wires that connect to ur starter relay (make sure ur gear is in neutral position before u do this), does ur e-starter starts ur engine? if yes then i think ur starter relay needs to be replaced, if not, then ur battery is the problem. (are u using maintenance free or the one that needs a distilled water?) check ur battery water level if ur not using a maintenance free

its normal that the e-start wont work or looks like your batt is defective, when your using hi lift cam like faito turbo cams due to its high compression. try to use you kick & e-start simultaneously... :D ride safe!

you can replace your racing cams with the one that have a de-compression pin like racingboy hi lift cams or other brand, with that surely you can use the e-start... ride safe...

Faito S4 evo user here. It's normal if the e-start doesn't work. higher lift=higher compression=e-start doesn't work. I use kick start since I changed cams.

yes, I use stock ignition coil only. I'm not sure if changing ignition coil will make the e-start work. Please do update me if it does. Let's wait for the expert's feedback.

i already change the battery. problemo solve, but theres a bit suspicious about my rectifier coz during when i tap the multitester seems like iv'e got infinite reading. on idle position 12-13 volts but when i rev it the needle will swing back in forth which is supposedly steady to 14-15 volts. one more thing i notice the old battery the casing already expanded so it means i got a high charging. so this another problem ? update you soon bros

dude thats a normal reading if u test it with a multitester, theres no problem with ur regulator/rectifier. hehe told ya, if isnt the relay, then ur battery is the problem. if ur not using a maintenance free battery, always check ur battery water level
