<![CDATA[Starter motor just spinns around]]>My starter motor have always been a bit chinky. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't. It just spinns and is not cranking the engine. Now, it rarely ever cranks the engine. Can I dismantle the starter and lubricate it somehow?

Like a record baby right round, right round round round. 😆

Seriously tho, sounds like somethings broken inside and/or worked loose? I would remove the starter and investigate it properly dude. Just spraying lubricant in there will only grease the moving parts, albeit original or damaged???

It's Two bolts I beleive t remove the starter and make sure none of the cogs have deteriorated

It could be the gears that it's connecting with.

That would be where I'd start first.
