So my starter seems like it's seen better days. No compression plugs pulled it spins. But with plugs is falls on its butt lol. That's with fuel off so not flooding. When I grab the starter nose gear it spins freely both ways. Will the rebuild kit repair that or will I need to get a new used starter.
Motor was locked up. Marvel mystery oil did the trick. Soaked for a couple weeks. Now spins nice by hand and no plugs. Was looking for the rebuild thread but can't find it. Gotta see y it's not starting with switch but I'll use a screw driver if I have to. Working on making it naked. Gauges are my next project once it's running right.
