Default Starting problems, Intruder VL1500LC, Solenoid/starter/generator?
Hello Everyone,

I had some problems tonight with my Intruder 1500LC, I went to start it and the starter kicked in just briefly then everything went dead, I waited a few minutes and tried again and the same thing. I finally got it to turn over and start but when it was running, all lights were "flickering" while idling and seemed to get worse when increasing the throttle, I am thinking perhaps it could be the starter(dead spot?), alternator(generator) or solenoid. Has this ever happened to anyone? Could it be something more serious? It almost sounds like something is shorting out.

Thanks in advance for any and all information leading to a resolution.

Chuck
