After reading a few post regarding the old click click starter motor its starting happening to mine when trying to start it in the mornings
The plunger is pulling in with a nice solid clunk but the starter is not doing anything else ie no engine movement. So really want I would like to know is where do I go with it....
A) Pull it to pieces and clean the contacts out in the plunger area
B) Just get a complete new/recon one
Is a 'recondioned' unit not much more than just new contacts, bushes, maybe a bearing or two and a hefty price tag? The vehicle has done just under 200k kms, do starter motors wear to the point of needing replacement/reconditioning after that many kms or would a good cleanout give it a new lease on life?
