cases, this all returns to normal once the starter cools back down. I
<BR>don't know what happened to Bob & Sue's starters, but this is most
likely. If <BR>they wore out brushes, then they must have been at the tail end

face=Arial>I tore into both of them once we got back home. The first 1 was
totally used up (brushes were worn beyond their limit, and had gouged the
armature). Plus the solenoid had failed. It was an unknown used starter that was
given to me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2
face=Arial>The 2nd one was just the solenoid that went kaput. I'm still looking
for a compatible solenoid for it, to return it to service. So far I've come
across 2 other starters, but neither is a match for the part that does the
"pulling". It was a freebe , so I can't complain too much. ;-) </FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>The thing is, for the cost of a solenoid, I was able to buy a reman
starter, and it worked fine right up until I sold it. She hasn't told me if it
has failed on her yet. In fact I haven't heard from her in over a year, so
the car must be still working for her.<BR>
