Replace down with up.
This is the problem with modern technology like starter motors .. something else to go wrong ..

It’s a bugger when your Starlink terminal claps out when your trying to order new parts on Motorworks.
It's probably cheaper and quicker to fly back to the UK, collect and deliver it yourself.
Or fly a friend out with one in a bag.
Or get on to Facebook and and find someone flying out in a tour!
Horizons unlimited. Trans Moroccon trail group etc.

From personal experience; easy bike to bump start on a solid surface at little more than walking pace. Wouldn’t be so easy on gravel. I’m sure you’d be able to find help/parts in Ouarzazate or, if not, Marrakech.
Zagora has a lot of garages/workshops, it’s the last town before going onto the Sahara trails and where all the off road vehicles congregate ..
Always used to stop off there on bike or in the Land Rover
Looks like he got sorted in the end...

"Had the same happen in Dades 2 weeks ago. Starter motor would clunk / throw forward but not spin. Stripped it down and 2 of the magnets were loose and broken up, jamming it solid. Hotel called a local garage who took it away from repaired it using a electric motor from a car starter motor. They couldn't speak English so didn't find out which model car. Bmw in Tangier were useless"

Mmmm it took 5 of us quite some time to bump start a 1200 Multistrada. Oh yes, it it popped my knee at the same time.
Well said, my neighbour is looking into fitting a cranking handle to his Tesla.This is the problem with modern technology like starter motors .. something else to go wrong ..
