Description
Replacement starter motor made with German bearings for long life.
Generator Guru says:
Often when your starter motor needs replacing it can be for 1 of 3 reasons:
1) The gears or bearings have broken up in the Starter Motor. This usually is due to old oil in the engine making it harder for the engine to turn over.
2) The brushes within the starter motor have melted due to turning over the starter motor for prolonged periods. Only turn over in 5 second bursts to prevent this from happening.
3) The solenoid has burnt out. For this to happen there would have been an electrical surge in the 12 volt system and the "Battery Charging Rectifier" will have burnt out also. When testing with a multi-meter, you should get no more than 13v DC to the battery when the generator is running. If you are getting a higher reading, then we strongly suggest replacing the battery charging rectifier, so as to prevent damaging your battery too.
