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?
-
Should be possible to have the Starter motor rewound.
It could be the gears that it's connecting with.
That would be where I'd start first.
-
@calum I opened the engine cover and sprayed dim lubricant into the starter. I'll see how it turns out
-
@irongamer727 Hhm, I would rather investigate furuther if it were me.
It's Two bolts I beleive t remove the starter and make sure none of the cogs have deteriorated
-
@irongamer727 All together now - You spin me right round baby, right round. 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???

@ninja stick to your day job :rofl:
-
@terry-tz I would but that's very boring and us average Joe's, aka humans need levity to make the day go quicker for-sure!!!

@ninja you have no idea how many times I’ve had that song in my head when I read this post I was gonna post about it earlier lol,oh and btw I like your singing
-
Worn out sprag clutch? Sounds like it started skipping, and now not gripping at all.
-
Considerably better after the lubricant. But it is going to need some more attention
-
@declan Sing it with me bro - You spin me right round baby, right round. Like a record baby right round, right round round round.
