Do you know if this is a Bendix drive motor, or a Delco style solenoid actuated pinion gear motor?
Hi, I have a problem with my starter. When I turn the ignition I hear a solenoid click and I even hear the starter motor whirring but it's not engaging the engine. Is there a few simple things I can try to free it up before I go about removing it? Thanks
If you needed to strike the motor in order to make it work, you have some corrosion at/on the brushes and commutator.
You had better pull it apart and exam things!
ditto, and is precisely why I made the suggestion to tear it down and inspect it!Lesson: Spend the time/money to be sure that your sh_t works.
