Thread: starter issues

Tweet

Pull your starter and take the solenoid off. Then take the starter apart and clean everything and replace the brushes, they're probably close to being worn out anyway. Next replace the bendix and be careful to not loose any shims on either end of the armature. Take some fine emery cloth to the commutator cleaning it till it shines. Put it all back together with a new quality solenoid and you should be good for many years.

quick update, I bought a multimeter because thus far the only thing I've been judging my voltage on was my gauge inside the car, which doesn't have the greatest resolution.
while running with no power items on inside the car I'm getting 13.5 at best, fluctuates basically from 13 to 13.5

I know 14.5 is kind of best case.
Does this sound like an issue to anyone or still reasonable to get 13.5?
