Pete, look at this picture.

The commutator looks like ****.

Understatement.

Can you say "That starter is HISTORY!"? I knew you could.

Put it back together and pray for a core allowance. They might not if
you left the endcap off.


Well, so we have four people saying it is crap, and I agree.

No, 5 ;-)
See a lot of starters on a daily basis and that one is dead.
If you will try a rebuild of that starter you will minimum need a new rotor
and a new set of brushes for it.


I will call Napa tomorrow, if I can get what I want for $62 and they
take my old starter for core, AND I can have it on Friday, I will be
happy.

For that price you might or might not be able to buy the parts I listed.
What about the bearings/bushings, gears and, and......

I know for sure what I would go for :-)


PS If you are able to get the old one working by Friday, say 10 starts I
will be amazed.


So you would also get that rebuild at Napa, right?


There are 3 or 4 places in town that would likely have a good used one
on the shelf for $15 or $20 here, as well as at least 4 rebuilders
that would likely have a couple already on the shelf - that I know
were rebuilt properly. That said, my local NAPA is only less than a
mile away and I drive past it twice a day - so unless I was headed
past one of the other places in my normal daily driving (or at least
close) I'd likely nab the one from NAPA. (assuming they have it in
stock - and the warehouse is only about 15 miles away, so if it's in
the warehouse I can generally have it (delivered) in less than 2
hours) I'm within 1/4 mile of one of the better rebuilders at least
twice a day too.
