MSD TL and NOCO Lithium battery a bad combo?

[catfish4767]

Sounds like the bendix teeth grinding against the backside of the ring gear. Then when you let off and retry it engages. Like mentioned above brass engine side bushing could be smoked. Inspect your starter side of the bendix for wear marks on the teeth. For what it’s worth my NLP9 and 14 both blew at cranking my 1200 over. But they would never have the issue above, just slow cranking. Also my TL system would consistently drain my batteries even with the switched remote wire in the off position. Had to switch the actual 12v wire to get it to stop or my batteries would be half dead in no time.

I almost want to ditch my TL but replacing all of that sounds like a headache I dont want/need with the little time I have for riding anyways

check that the weights and holders are all good inside the bendix as well.

Total loss and any battery are a bad combo lmao.

Well first of, the total loss ignition has nothing to do with cranking and how the bendix engage with the flywheel.
I have been running TL and Lipo batteries for 8 yars now (TL for 11) havent had any issues.
Running WPS featherwieght "white label batteries"

Have you tried a battery you know works 100% and/or have you tried with jumper cables on, to rule out, that it cannot draw enough CCA?

I have not. I assumed 500cca was enough but maybe its not? Its a brand new battery. When it catches, it normally fires right up. It did when it was on the stand and when I first took it out.

Yes 500 cca is more than enough. my first point was also, that i dont think it has anything to do with the ignition system.
I would try and find a old stator cover, cut off, so only nose for the bendix is there, and bolt it on. So you can crank and start the ski "WO flywheel cover" and see what happens when crank and making the slipping sound

It’s a good point

my vote is case side bushing is bad and/or bendix is toast. I run an nlp14 on a TPE 12, 245psi 1015 and a race gas 1021. No cranking issues at all.
