Anyone Reco-ed a Starter??
« on: Apr 26, 2004, 07:25PM »
Just wondering if anybody has reco-ed a starter motor?? I've gone thru 2 second hand ones in the past year... GRRR... THinking about fixing one of the ones I've got lying around...

Also, does anyone know what would typically cause a dead short when the solenoid clicks in?? Bearings?!?! ???

I've reconned an alternator? Does that count? All you need is the right tools, some new bushes, a hydralic pressure press and you're away.
