    I've a dodgy starter again. Can hear it spinning but it won't engage the flywheel.
    It happened 9 months ago and got a second hand starter but from what I remember I couldn't take apart the motor to try recondition it.
    Any advice on it? I'll eventually replace it but with work I won't get a chance to pick one up for another two weeks.

    They're mental money new, why not drop the old motor in somewhere for recon?

    Yes I remember last time looking and physically gulping when I seen the price. Ended up finding a smashed up fto in a scrapers.
    I might dig around for the old starter and see if I can jimmy it open and have a prod before I start ringing round.
