Hello forum,

I just bough a TGB hawk 50. It run just fine except that the starter act a little bit. At first i though it was the battery so i change it and then i was able to start it with the electric starter a couple of time. But after a couple of start it start to act again. So i tough battery wasnt charging, but i get 13.9 volt when i rev the motor so i think i'm good there. I checked the rectifier to and i see power going to the battery and i know the cable to the battery is ok.

The starter turn but rarely get to the crank, when it does there not enough power to turn the motor.

Is there something that boost the power from the battery to the electric starter that can make it do that ?


Thanks in advance.

When jumped it turned eveytime so pretty sure the relay was bad. But i didnt have enough power so that why i charged the battery and now i wait to see if the battery will get to low again. Maybe i had two problem.

Maybe not because the battery get at 13.2 ~ 13.4 when i tested it so i should be ok now.

Thanks for your help
