Well, my starter's been warning me that it was tired for 2 months or so, and
finally went to sleep
Saturday night. Now I have three replacement starters (thanx carl and john)
whose conditions are
unknown.
My question pertains to the gear that engages the flywheel. How's that damm
thing supposed to
work? On my old starter, it moves quite easily up and down shaft (in a
counterclockwise motion).
THe teeth on it are completely shot (that's what the problem was). One of the
new ones moves down
the shaft easily as well, but another one doesn't move at all (even hooked up
to the starter
solenoid).
Is that gear supposed to move along the shaft easily or is there something in
the housing where it's
connected that aids its movement. I'm curious b/c I don't know if mine being
chewed up was a result
of that easy movement.
