Starter motor issue
« on: 03 November 2016, 20:11:12 »
Having a starter issue: On a number of occasions recently I have turned the ignition only for nothing to happen. If I continue to try and start it has so far eventually kicked in. Is the starter on the way out or is there a way I can overhaul it?

when you say nothing happens, as in silence?, any clicking?, when it happens next time put the headlights on, do the lights dim?

Gave the lever a wiggle. This didn't solve the issue. There was a very quiet click, not the kind of click I would associate with a solenoid problem. I am sure the battery is okay but will measure the voltage. :(
