Starter Armature Assy. Wear
So I've been having some starter problems for awhile. Pretty much anytime I get the engine started it drains the battery. I decided to take it out and test it to see what I could find. As you can see the armature assembly was worn with a matching area on one of the field coil steel pieces. My first thought is that this is not good, but I don't know how bad it is.
Any experience with this you could share? Thanks! Tim |

Re: Starter Armature Assy. Wear

Re: Starter Armature Assy. Wear
This is a pretty common problem over time, the starter has a habit of resting in one of three areas, and those areas wear down over time. There are two real solutions, one is to replace the starter (the best solution) the other would be to take a small hammer with you and tap the starter every time you wanna start it up.
