Description
Replacement Starter Motor complete with the Starter Motor Solenoid Relay and Starter Motor to Solenoid Cable. For the Electric start versions only. 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 is usually 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 resulting in the "Battery Charging Rectifier" burning out also. We suggest testing the battery with a multimeter, 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 also.
