Hello all,

Glad to find this site. I hope people hear about it and it picks up.  Maybe I hope it doesn't pick up.  Too much traffic ain't good, both metaphorically and otherwise.

Well, I have a 1981 750 Custom.  I sure enjoy riding her.
Used to take 7-8-9 times of cranking to start up.  (Electric starter, no kick start)
Now, she won't start up unless I push her down the hill around the block (which I first have to push up the hill...by the way, my chest still burns).

Has new battery, new spark plugs...my next guess is starter??
Anything anyone can suggest besides buying a new starter??  

If anyone does reply, I don't mind any extra mechanical detail you may add.  I'm not a dummy (some may beg to differ) but a bunch of abbreviated shop talk won't help me much, I figure.

Muchas gracias
